Ever spent 20 minutes explaining your frontend structure to ChatGPT/Claude/Cursor, only to have it misunderstand what you're trying to build? Yeah, me too. Here's a tool that fixes this annoying problem. Picture this: You want to modify your component. Your typical AI conversation goes like this: You: "Can you help me style my navbar?" AI: "Sure! Can you share your navbar code?" You: *pastes 50 lines of JSX* AI: "What about the CSS?" You: *pastes another 100 lines* AI: "Where is this component used?" You: *explains folder structure* AI: "Can you describe what it currently looks like?" You: *tries to describe UI in words* AI: *generates code* You: "That's not what I wanted at all..." 20 minutes later, even after sharing everything, the AI still doesn't understand your vision and delivers s…  ( 4 min )

Let’s first look at Ward Cunningham’s definition of “first-class citizens”: If a programming language places no restrictions on the creation and use of a certain language element, and we can treat this syntactic element the same way we treat values, then we can call this syntactic element a “first-class citizen” in that programming language. Simply put, in Go, functions can be assigned to variables. A function can be passed as a parameter, used as a variable type, or as a return value. In kube-proxy, the function type makeEndpointFunc is defined, with corresponding implementations in ipvs, nftables, and iptables. type makeEndpointFunc func(info *BaseEndpointInfo, svcPortName *ServicePortName) Endpoint Although the implementations are different, by unifying the function type, we can instan…  ( 10 min )

Have you ever wondered how you could isolate your application from external concerns, like which database to use? Or isolating it who is consuming your application? Domain-centric architectures, like the Ports and Adapters, allow you to achieve just that. The Ports and Adapters architecture, also known as Hexagonal architecture, was a concept started by Alistair Cockburn in 1994, but then officially written in his blog in 2005. Its intention is: Allow an application to equally be driven by users, programs, automated test or batch scripts, and to be developed and tested in isolation from its eventual run-time devices and databases. This connected to what we previously stated: isolating the business logic from everything external and that can be ever-changing. Our business logic is the money…  ( 5 min )

In a landscape where reasoning-focused LLMs often demand sky-high compute budgets and ultra-long context lengths, Fathom-R1-14B by Fractal AI stands out as an outstanding alternative. It is developed as part of the ambitious IndiaAI Mission to build the nation’s first Large Reasoning Model (LRM), and this 14B parameter model delivers state-of-the-art performance on Olympiad-grade mathematical reasoning tasks - all within a modest 16K context window and a shockingly low $499 post-training budget. Unlike models that rely on 32k+ token inference and massive fine-tuning pipelines, Fathom-R1-14B achieves scores of 52.71% on AIME25 and 35.26% on HMMT25, significantly outperforming comparable open-source models like o3-mini and Light-R1-14B. Moreover, it competes with proprietary giants like o4-m…  ( 6 min )

In the world of AI, especially with autonomous agents, one core idea gives them their abilities: the agent loop. If you've ever wondered how AI systems stay on track, adapt to changes, and keep moving toward their goals without constant human input, the answer lies in this loop. An agent loop is a cycle that enables an AI agent to keep working toward a goal. Think of it like a feedback loop in a smart assistant or a robot — a continuous process of observing, thinking, and acting. Here’s how the loop generally works: Observe (Gather Data) The agent starts by collecting fresh information. This could be from: Its memory Tools it can access (like APIs or search engines) Sensors (for physical agents) Logs or databases This step is about reading the world as it currently is, not as it was.

I had good days with celluloid back in 2019, on Linux Mint. I'd argue, it's still the king of video players available today. I will not forget the fluid frame updates when I held down right arrow key. Those who consume lots of movies on Linux, might resonate with me. Fast forward a year, I had to switch away from Linux, and move back to Windows on my laptop, and I had only one. But the memory of Celluloid struck with me, and I was no longer satisfied with VLC. I needed a better one, and I found one very close. It was called KM Player. Time passed. Life was happy with KM Player. Then I got a job. And I forgot about leisure time, so I had not touched it for straight six months. One day, as our team just delivered the project we were working on, we were granted 2 weeks of paid leave.

We are running FoundationDB with the official kubernetes operator. FoundationDB supports logical backups (with backup_agent) and disaster recovery (with dr_agent) through copying the database/streaming changes logically. It also supports binary backups through disk snapshots. In this blog post, we will describe how to make a backup of FoundationDB via backup_agent. The FoundationDB operator supports making logical backups via backup_agent, but it does not support running DR with dr_agent. We decided to run backup_agent as a separate deployment to allow a symmetric setup with dr_agent. In order to run the backup_agent pods, we will need a deployment. That deployment will need the following: Network level access to the FoundationDB cluster The cluster file to use. This is provided from the c…  ( 8 min )

When working with ASP.NET Core Identity, a set of default tables is automatically created to manage user authentication, roles, claims, and more. These tables are essential for implementing secure and flexible identity management in your application. Here's a breakdown of what each table does: AspNetUsers UserName Email PasswordHash PhoneNumber SecurityStamp, etc. Think of it as the main user profile table. AspNetRoles Each role is stored once and assigned a unique ID and name. AspNetUserRoles many-to-many relationship between users and roles. If one user is both an Admin and a Moderator, this table will contain two entries for that user. AspNetUserLogins external login provider like: Google Facebook Microsoft Twitter, etc. It includes the provider name, key, and associated user ID. AspNetUserTokens 💾 Contains tokens related to a user such as: Password reset tokens Email confirmation tokens Two-factor authentication tokens This helps manage temporary access scenarios securely. AspNetUserClaims For example: SubscriptionLevel = Premium Department = HR These claims are typically used for fine-grained authorization. AspNetRoleClaims 📄 Similar to user claims but tied to roles instead. Example: ✅ ASP.NET Core Identity Default Tables Summary Table Name Purpose AspNetUsers Stores user account info like username, email, password hash, etc. AspNetRoles Stores role definitions (e.g., Admin, User, Manager). AspNetUserRoles Maps users to roles (many-to-many relationship). AspNetUserLogins Stores login data from external providers (e.g., Google, Facebook). AspNetUserTokens Stores tokens for things like password resets, email confirmations, etc. AspNetUserClaims Stores custom claims assigned directly to users. AspNetRoleClaims Stores claims assigned to roles (users get these claims via role membership). If you found this helpful, consider supporting my work at ☕ Buy Me a Coffee.  ( 3 min )

Microsoft recently open-sourced NLWeb, a protocol for adding conversational interfaces to websites.1 It leverages Schema.org structured data that many sites already have and includes built-in support for MCP (Model Context Protocol), enabling both human conversations and agent-to-agent communication. The key idea: NLWeb creates a standard protocol that turns any website into a conversational interface that both humans and AI agents can query naturally. Currently, websites have structured data (Schema.org) but no standard way for AI agents or conversational interfaces to access it. Every implementation is bespoke. Traditional search interfaces struggle with context-aware, multi-turn queries. NLWeb creates a standard protocol for conversational access to web content. Like RSS did for syndica…  ( 7 min )

In the grand, ever-shifting landscape of software architecture, a silent quest perennially unfolds – a search for balance, for that elusive sweet spot where innovation can flourish without collapsing under its own weight. We, as creators of digital worlds, have journeyed from towering, singular strongholds to sprawling, interconnected metropolises. Yet, sometimes, the most profound answers lie not in the extremes, but in a thoughtful fusion of wisdom gleaned from all past endeavors. This is the story of the Modular Monolith, an architectural approach that offers a path to structured grace and sustainable growth. Once, in the nascent days of software development, and even persisting into much of its adolescence, the Monolith reigned supreme. Imagine a vast, ancient citadel, a single, imposi…  ( 8 min )

1. Logical AND (&&) Operator: The logical AND (&&) operator checks whether both operands are true. If both are true, the result is true. If any one or both operands are false, the result is false. // Check if both conditions are true let age = 20; let idProof = true; // Logical AND checks both conditions if (age >= 18 && idProof) { console.log("Allowed"); } else { console.log("Not Allowed"); } Output: Allowed The logical OR (||) operator checks whether at least one of the operands is true. If either operand is true, the result is true. If both operands are false, the result is false. // Check if at least one condition is true let age = 16; let hasGuardian = true; // Logical OR checks if either condition is true if (age >= 18 || hasGuardian) { console.log("Allowed"); } else { console.log("Not Allowed"); } Output: Allowed TheparseInt method parses a value as a string and returns the first integer. It accepts a string argument and optional radix parameter, defining the numeral system base. This method is commonly used for converting string representations of numbers into integers. Example: The method takes two parameters: the string to be parsed and the radix (optional, default is 10). 2 = binary, 8 = octal, 10 = decimal, 16 = hexadecimal. Syntax: parseInt(Value, radix); Parameters: Value: This parameter contains a string that is converted to an integer. radix: This parameter represents the radix or base to be used and it is optional. [Reference - geeksforgeeks] JavaScript provides several ways to execute a block of code repeatedly. These are called looping statements. Executes a block of code as long as a specified condition is true. Syntax: while (condition) { // code to execute } Example: let i = 0; while (i < 5) { console.log(i); // Output: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 i++; }  ( 3 min )

Hi. I'm not sure how this works but it said I could make a first post so here goes: How are you all doing? I joined this community (which looks awesome btw) in the hopes of learning more in regards to coding. I have some basic knowledge of coding languages like Python and HTML and have taken part in a hackathon once upon a time. Although I havent made any projects recently and I think thats something I need to work on so I'm going to try my best to do more of that. If you have a project that you're working on and dont mind someone with little to no experience in coding, do let me know. As what I lack in experience I make up for in enthusiasm, words of encouragement and memes. Hopefully if you do let me join your team we get some sort of work done. In all seriousness I plan on getting better at coding so I'll have more to offer. Also if you require a video editor, I am very confident in my video editing capabilities and have made a video for a Star Wars hackathon which I took part in last year (I'll put the video in my next post). Currently I'm self-studying Harvards CS50 intro to computer science and its very interesting. I hope to learn more and grow with you all. Thanks for making this community. P.S I'm a huge Naruto fan (hence my cover image/gif), its a topic I'm extremely knowledgeable about but unfortunately cant add to my CV. Maybe I'll make a Naruto inspired website one day😅  ( 4 min )

Let’s be real: AI is everywhere in language learning right now, but most of it is lipstick on a broken system. Apps love to say “powered by AI” but what does that actually mean? Usually: A glorified chatbot that barely listens Auto-translation features you could get with Google Speech feedback that tells you nothing useful Static lesson plans with no adaptive logic They’re not solving the core problem: getting you confident in real conversations. The AI is passive—reactive at best. It doesn’t push you. It doesn’t correct you in meaningful ways. It doesn’t feel like you're speaking to someone who cares if you get fluent. At YAP, we’re doing it differently: AI conversation partners simulate real humans and nudge you out of your comfort zone. Feedback focuses on communication success, not robotic perfection. Your effort = rewards. Our system pays you in $YAP for showing up and speaking. Rewarding you for your effort and time. Good AI should feel like a partner, not a gimmick. It should make fluency faster, funnier, and a little bit uncomfortable—in the best way. The future of language learning isn’t just AI—it’s AI with incentives. — Team YAP www.goyap.ai  ( 3 min )

In tech, we talk a lot about interfaces. How users interact. How systems are separated by clean abstractions. We build our digital selves like we build UIs. Deliberately curated. Versioned. Deployed. But underneath all that, there is still the raw protocol. The human. The anxious. The tired. The trying. Some borders are not drawn in code. They are inherited in silence. This reflection explores this in a more poetic way. It touches on how identity becomes signal. How ego replaces empathy. How the space between people can start to feel like a firewall. Not political. Just honest. If you have ever felt visible but not seen, or competent but still questioned, this might resonate. It is not about fixing it. It is about noticing when it starts to feel like part of the architecture.  ( 3 min )

GM Folks Ever wanted to build something on the blockchain but felt overwhelmed by all the jargon? Yeah, me too. That’s why I decided to start small, real small with a fun little project: a "Buy Me a Coffee" dApp where people can send me ETH as a tip. (Because, let’s be honest, we all need more coffee and crypto in our lives.) This was my first full-stack Web3 project, and let me tell you. It was a wild ride. From wrestling with TypeScript to debugging weird MetaMask errors, I learned a ton. And now, I’m here to break it all down for you in a way that (hopefully) doesn’t make your brain melt.

Being a developer isn’t just about writing code. Learning new frameworks Building side projects Balancing school, work, or life Trying to stay sane 😅 And if you’re working solo… it hits different. 🧩 “You’re the Developer, the Designer, the PM… and the Janitor.” You come up with an amazing idea. You start building it with full energy. Then life happens: 🎓 You’ve got exams. 📁 Welcome to the “Unfinished Projects” Graveyard That productivity app you started? That AI-powered tool you built 80% of? That portfolio redesign that looked 🔥 but still says “Coming Soon”? They’re sitting in a folder. You swear you’ll finish them “soon.” Every developer has that folder. 💭 So… Why Are We Doing This Alone? What if we: Paired up with others in the same boat? Shared unfinished ideas and built them together? Had spaces where devs could jump in and contribute, no judgment? Imagine an ecosystem where developers hand off projects like relay runners, instead of dropping the baton when life gets hectic. 🧪 Real Talk From Me I was building an AI-powered README Generator. Now it sits there, waiting. And I can’t help but think — if another dev saw the value in it, why not let them take it across the finish line? 🤝 Maybe It’s Time We Collaborate More Sharing half-done projects Asking for help before burnout Building with people, not just for people It doesn’t make you less of a developer — it makes you a smarter one. ✍️ P.S. I might open-source my README Generator soon. If AI + productivity is your jam, ping me. 🧠 What About You? 💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments: What stops you from finishing projects? Is it burnout? Impostor syndrome? Overwhelm? Do you struggle with motivation, feedback, or just too many ideas? Let’s build a thread of real, raw dev problems — and maybe we can find solutions together. 🗣️ Let’s Start Something Together And who knows? We might just start something awesome together.  ( 4 min )

In our previous article, we implemented a client-side image upload functionality using React. Now, it's time to build out the server-side infrastructure to handle these uploads effectively. In this tutorial, we'll create a backend system that not only receives and stores images but also manages their metadata and serves them back to our application. We'll cover setting up file storage, integrating with a database to track image information, and creating endpoints that return essential image data like storage locations. Let's dive into building a complete image management system with Node.js. So, what is the idea? Ok, we will create a separate route that will accept the image, send the file to the storage, and then return some data about that file to the frontend. On the frontend, we will g…  ( 8 min )

In post-exploitation scenarios, few objectives are as valuable as gaining access to the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS). Responsible for enforcing security policies and handling authentication on Windows systems, LSASS maintains sensitive data such as passwords, NTLM hashes, Kerberos tickets, cached credentials, and LSA secrets—all in memory. This makes it a goldmine for red teamers and attackers seeking to escalate privileges or move laterally across a compromised network. Understanding how LSASS works, the protections it’s wrapped in, and the techniques to extract data from it using Python gives red teamers not just a powerful tool, but also a clearer view of how defenders might detect or block such attempts. Each time a user logs into a Windows system, LSASS plays a k…  ( 5 min )

There's a satisfaction that comes with creating that is so hard to explain, Ofcourse it's different for everyone; Is it the excitement that comes with chasing an idea or the exploration and eventually shaping it into something real. It is not just about the finished product, it's the late-night rabbit holes, the unexpected research that comes along the way, the small "aha" moments that make you want to keep showing up But sometimes, without warning, that joy disappears! Ever been in a situation where you feel overly excited about a new idea, then out of excitement you decided to share the idea with a friend and they weren't as excited about it as you were?

Ever wondered how we went from simple HTML pages to owning digital assets on the blockchain? Let's take a journey through the three eras of the web and explore what makes Web3 so revolutionary. Before diving into the web evolution, here's a fun fact: the internet was born from Cold War paranoia! In the 1960s, the U.S. Department of Defense's ARPA created ARPANET — a communication network designed to survive nuclear attacks. The irony? What started as a military defense system became the foundation for cat videos and memes. 💡 Did you know? The first ARPANET message was sent on October 29, 1969, between UCLA and Stanford. It was supposed to say "LOGIN" but crashed after "LO" — technically making the first internet message failed attempt! Timeline: Early 1990s - 2004 Core Traits: Read-only, …  ( 5 min )

O que é DNS O Domain Name System (DNS) é a lista telefônica da Internet. O DNS converte os nomes de domínio (legíveis por humanos, como www.google.com) em endereços IP (que os computadores usam para se comunicar). Cada dispositivo conectado à Internet tem um IP único que as outras máquinas usam para localizar o dispositivo. Os servidores DNS eliminam a necessidade de humanos terem de memorizar endereços IP. Recursor de DNS: O recursor é responsável por fazer solicitações adicionais para atender à consulta de DNS do cliente.

There was a time—not so long ago—when artificial intelligence seemed like mere imagination, distant and futuristic. Yet today, AI weaves through our lives effortlessly, unseen but essential—from predicting our typing habits to steering self-driving cars. AI is no longer confined to labs or closely guarded corporations; instead, it is blossoming in open, collaborative spaces. At the heart of this transformation lies open-source AI , a dynamic movement transforming how we innovate, share knowledge, and build technology together. This isn't just a technological shift—it's a cultural movement, built upon transparency, inclusivity, and an unwavering belief that breakthroughs should benefit all. Traditionally, advanced AI technologies were locked behind proprietary walls, accessible only to larg…  ( 6 min )

While DEV.to is typically a space for backend architecture and performance optimization, this discussion bridges that world with another deeply technical arena: algorithmic trading. Specifically, we’re talking about latency—the type that separates profitable execution from missed opportunity. Whether you're writing trading bots, building dashboards, consuming exchange APIs, or handling transaction relays, this is a backend performance layer you cannot ignore. In trading, timing is execution. The difference between spotting an arbitrage opportunity and capturing it often comes down to milliseconds. A system can detect a price inefficiency across platforms, but if your transaction arrives a fraction of a second after someone else’s, it’s irrelevant. First arrival wins. Everyone else provides…  ( 4 min )

PostgreSQL limits tuple sizes to a quarter of the block size, generally capping at 2KB. In document data modeling, where documents represent business transactions, sizes often exceed this limit. Storing entire transaction documents as a single JSONB can lead to compression and splitting via TOAST (The Oversized-Attribute Storage Technique). While this is suitable for static documents that are infrequently accessed, it is less optimal for queries on documents. Let's take an example to detect this antipattern of using PostgreSQL as a document database. I create a user profile table similar to the previous post, but adding a bio field with large text: create table users ( id bigserial primary key, data jsonb not null ); INSERT INTO users (data) SELECT jsonb_build_object( 'name', '…  ( 6 min )

Managing remote teams isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about enabling people to build, ship, and support software without friction. Developers don’t want fluff. They want tools that work. In 2025, that means choosing tools that cut noise, centralize communication, and sync with code. Remote teams live in different time zones. They use Slack, GitHub, and Google Docs. They code during sprints and debug on-call. When teams don’t share office space, traditional tools fall short. What works in a conference room breaks on Zoom. Developers need: Clear task visibility Fast, async communication Source control integration Lightweight documentation Minimal context switching Tools that miss these points? Dead weight.

TL;DR: Tel Aviv University archaeologists Miki Ben-Dor and Ran Barkai argue that early humans (mostly Homo erectus) first harnessed fire not primarily for cooking but to guard huge kills (think elephants, hippos) from predators and to smoke-dry the meat, extending its edible shelf-life. By examining nine prehistoric sites (1.8–0.8 Mya) worldwide—each rich in big-game bones—and ethnographic parallels, they show that the enormous caloric payoff of preserved mega-meat justified the effort of collecting and tending fires. Once fire was routinely available for preservation, roasting foods (evidenced by fish bones ~800 kya) would’ve been a no-brainer “bonus.” This fresh take, published in Frontiers in Nutrition, slots neatly into the duo’s broader theory that early humans’ behaviors largely revolved around hunting large animals and adapting as their sizes—and availability—waned.  ( 3 min )

The best translation API you could choose is one that not only is robust with multiple API calls, but also adds value to your app with layers of security for your users. Most cloud translation API's don't provide your app with enough security - and this is needed now more than ever in the age of growing cybersecurity threats. While you can find several cloud translation platforms that run translations through a secure connection (HTTPS), this alone doesn't quite make the cut for user data security in today's world.

Hello. So here’s what happened. I recently found out — almost accidentally — that I had summer vacations. Not the planned kind with beaches and iced tea, but the kind that sneaks up on you and leaves you staring at the wall asking, “Now what?” Naturally, I had two options: waste time or waste time in a way that looks productive. I chose the latter. That’s how I stumbled into setting up Neovim. If you don’t know what Neovim is… well, don’t worry, you’re probably happier that way. But if you’re curious (or just here for the chaos), let me walk you through how I went from zero to semi-obsessed with a glorified terminal text editor.

The other day, I was debugging Colorado, a toy project of mine written in C# with Gtk#. Oh, boy, Gtk, the underlying graphic toolkit framework. Most of the times I'm more writing code that I struggle to make it compile than anything else. For instance, I still don't know what an AccelGroup is intended for (apart from the obvious meaning), or what it is used for in order to program keyboard accelerators (like Ctrl+O). Anyway, you have to create one because you need an AccelGroup for your accelerators, no matter what (yeah, I know what the documentation says, but AFAIK, you cannot get the AccelGroup for your app). It's like Gtk has a lot of power, but instead of creating a two-level API (one for the most common case, and another for low-level access), it only has those low-level calls. To ma…  ( 4 min )

I’m a total dark mode fan. It’s the first thing I switch on whenever I get a new device. Modern browsers finally play nice with dark mode out of the box. So I think it’s time to bring that sleek, eye-friendly aesthetic to the web!

This ensures that scroll bars, form controls or other user interfaces provided by the browser conform to the specified scheme. In our case, we want the page to support both light and dark modes. Order matters — if the user has no preference, the browser will default to …  ( 6 min )

Decision trees are one of the most intuitive machine learning algorithms - they mirror how humans naturally make decisions. But after diving deep into implementing my own decision tree algorithm, I discovered several critical pitfalls that can completely undermine your model's effectiveness. Here are the key lessons learned that will save you hours of debugging and poor performance. The Mistake: Processing your data in batches and building separate trees for each batch. Why It's Wrong: Decision trees need to evaluate ALL available data at each split to find the optimal decision boundary. When you only use a subset of your data, you're making suboptimal splits based on incomplete information. What to Do Instead: Use your entire dataset for training (memory permitting) If memory is limited, …  ( 5 min )

Over the past year, I’ve been self-studying XS and have now decided to share my learning journey through a series of blog posts. This eighth post introduces you to Perl regular expressions in XS. We should all know what a regular expression is? But if you don’t, here’s a quick refresher: A regular expression (regex) is a sequence of characters that forms a search pattern. They can be used for string matching, searching, and manipulation. Regular expressions are widely used in programming languages, including Perl, to perform complex text processing tasks. In Perl regular expressions can be precompiled and executed using the 'qr//' operator, which allows you to create a regex object that can be reused multiple times. This is particularly useful for performance when the same regex is used re…  ( 8 min )

Is there anything more infuriating than discovering that the web development company you hired slipped a backlink to their site into your website—without asking, without explaining, and without giving you any real choice? They’ll call it a “credit link,” a harmless industry tradition, a subtle nod to the creators. But let’s cut through the nonsense: it’s parasitic SEO leeching, plain and simple. Think about it. You’ve spent thousands—sometimes tens of thousands—of dollars to get a professional website built. A website is your digital storefront, your brand’s online identity, and the centerpiece of your marketing strategy. It’s meant to attract visitors, convert leads, and build your reputation—not someone else’s. But instead of delivering a clean, client-focused final product, some web ag…  ( 4 min )

When it comes to web security, most developers think of HTTPS, firewalls, and maybe some rate-limiting. But there's one often-overlooked tool that can make a huge difference: the Web Application Firewall, or WAF. Let’s break down what a WAF really does, how it works, and why it's a critical layer in your website’s defense strategy. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security tool designed to protect your web applications from common attacks by filtering, monitoring, and blocking HTTP traffic. Unlike traditional firewalls that operate at the network layer, a WAF operates at the application layer (Layer 7 of the OSI model). It specifically guards against threats like: SQL injection Cross-site scripting (XSS) Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) Command injection Path traversal Malicious file…  ( 4 min )

Spoiler alert: My building is smarter than I am. And I’m (allegedly) a grown adult. I used to think “net-zero” was a finance term involving spreadsheets and neckties. (Confession: I still don’t know what hedge funds do.) But in the world of sustainability, “net-zero” means balancing the greenhouse gases we produce with the amount we remove from the atmosphere. Translation? Try not to fry the planet like a cheap microwave burrito. So where do smart building technologies come in? Oh, buckle up—it’s about to get high-tech and surprisingly personal. A few years ago, I was managing an old office building. Flickering lights. Groaning HVAC. An energy bill that felt like national debt. Then we upgraded: smart sensors, automated lighting, predictive HVAC. Basically, the building got a brain. And it…  ( 4 min )

Dynamic Data Validation System Overview This project is an end-to-end dynamic data validation system written in Python that can validate data across multiple databases (BigQuery, Snowflake, SQL Server, etc.). It validates data by comparing aggregate metrics, schema metadata, duplicate & null counts, and other statistics between two data sources (i.e., source and target). The system is designed to be modular, configurable, and extensible. Key features include: Mapping CSV Input: Users supply a CSV file that defines which source and target tables (or queries) to compare. Flexible Data Source Configuration: You can pass a fully qualified object name (e.g., db.schema.object_name) or a custom SQL query (or file path ending with .sql) for both source and target. If a custom SQL …  ( 6 min )

As a senior software engineer with over a decade of experience, I’ve seen how comments in code can evolve from helpful documentation to misleading traps. Today, I want to share some insights about writing cleaner, self-documenting code. Why Im so down on comments? Because they lie. Not always, not intentionally but too often. The older the comment is the more likely it is to be wrong. The reason is software engineers maintain the code but not the comments. Code will not lie to you but comment will; Code evolves but comments not. Thus comments sometimes will be misleading. Therefore although comments are sometimes necessary, we need to try to minumise them. One of the common motivation for comments is bad code. We wrote a piece of code and we know it is complex, confusing and hard to unders…  ( 4 min )

Hey Devs 👋 I'm currently learning Python and ones of the mini-projects I rencently built was a real-life scrip to clean up my messy desktop. Here's what I wanted to do, specifically: Move all .jpg and .png screenshots from one folder tp another.

One of the biggest shifts developers face when building real-world apps with Phoenix LiveView is how to handle large, changing datasets. In traditional server-rendered apps, you load a page, dump out a list of data, and that’s that. But LiveView introduces new challenges - and opportunities - when you need to display hundreds or thousands of dynamic records, especially when they’re frequently updated, inserted, or deleted. The old way doesn’t scale. Enter Phoenix.LiveView.stream/3. This function is one of the most important - yet underutilized - tools in the LiveView toolkit. It’s designed to let you efficiently manage and render collections of data that change over time, without re-rendering the entire list or chewing up CPU. It’s the missing piece for building fast, reactive interfaces a…  ( 6 min )

Introduction Multimodal AI is a key trend, enabling machines to process and integrate multiple data types (text, images, audio, video) simultaneously. Unlike unimodal AI, multimodal AI combines separate neural networks or specialized modules for each modality, fusing their outputs for cohesive responses. This allows AI systems to understand complex contexts more accurately, similar to human perception, and unlocks new applications across industries. Defining Multimodal AI Multimodal AI refers to AI architectures that take in and reason over more than one type of input data. Example: A multimodal model can accept a photograph, a voice recording describing the scene, and text commands, then generate comprehensive outputs like textual answers or highlighted image regions. Key Components Inpu…  ( 6 min )

In the realm of mechanical keyboards, enthusiasts obsess over switch types, keycap profiles, and RGB lighting schemes. Yet, one key—long considered a mere functional necessity—is quietly undergoing a transformation. The spacebar, once the silent workhorse of the keyboard, is becoming an icon of design, expression, and cultural relevance. The spacebar may seem like just another key, but its role is foundational. It accounts for a significant portion of daily keystrokes—nearly 1 in every 5, according to TypingMetrics' 2023 report. For decades, however, this most-used key remained bland: unmarked, uncolored, and unconsidered in custom builds. But that’s changing. As personalization in tech becomes more prevalent, the spacebar has emerged as a focal point—not just for how it feels or sounds, b…  ( 5 min )

Introduction If we’re going to talk about max width, let’s define it properly first. The max-width CSS property sets the maximum width of an element. It prevents the width of that element (and its content) from exceeding a specific value, even if there's more space available. In today’s digital world, we’re building for a wide range of screen sizes—phones, tablets, laptops, desktops. As web developers, we’re expected to make sites look good and work well across all of them. This is where max-width becomes a crucial part of your responsive layout toolbox. If you’ve ever zoomed in or out in your browser or used developer tools to simulate different screen sizes, you’ve seen how your layout can break when it's not properly handled. It’s easy to unknowingly design just for your own screen, but once you start testing, the need for max-width becomes clear fast. Media queries let you adjust layout styles at different screen widths (often using min-width), but they’re only part of the picture. Max-width ensures your layout doesn’t stretch too far on large screens, helping maintain visual balance and readability.  ( 3 min )

Introduction Git is a powerful version control system that helps developers track changes in their code. Sometimes, you may commit changes accidentally or realize that you need to undo them. That's where git reset comes in. The git reset command allows you to undo commits at different levels: --soft - Keeps changes in the staging area. --mixed (default) - Unstages changes but keeps them in the working directory. --hard - Discards all changes completely. In this guide, we'll explore each option with examples, use cases, and tips to help you undo commits effectively. git reset --soft - Keep Changes Staged This option moves the HEAD pointer to a previous commit but keeps all changes in the staging area(index). git reset --soft HEAD~1 This undoes the last commit but keeps the chang…  ( 7 min )

Purpose In a world where software must evolve or perish, we embrace a principle often overlooked: The value of things that are designed to disappear. Ephemeral Design is a mindset that encourages developers to build systems with impermanence in mind—favoring modularity, replaceability, and minimal long-term baggage. Favor deletion over preservation. Design with a clear exit strategy. Ephemeral Design Manifesto Be honest about what might disappear. Optimize for change, not permanence. Practice Hints Modularize everything: small parts are easier to remove or replace. Isolate experimental features from the core domain logic. Document the lifespan of components, especially if temporary. Avoid over-engineering for uncertain features. Use structure or conventions to indicate ephemerality (e.g., separate directories, metadata, flags)—but balance clarity with elegance. Adopting Ephemeral Design doesn’t mean building carelessly. intentionally, with the courage to discard what no longer serves. Teams that embrace this mindset: Move faster by reducing fear of technical debt Feel safer experimenting and iterating Write more honest, sustainable software Everything is temporary—especially in code. By designing with this in mind, we create systems that are not just flexible, but free.  ( 3 min )

Article Source: https://juejin.cn/post/7296076144448618506 To further enhance our internal network security, we added the open-source community version of SafeLine WAF on top of our existing hardware WAF as a software WAF at the application layer. This enabled a multi-layered WAF protection architecture. After further exploration, we found that SafeLine WAF's upstream proxy forwarding is based on Tengine. This gave us the idea to use SafeLine not only for WAF protection but also for load balancing and automatic failover. We created a simple HTTP server with a /status route returning HTTP 200. Here's a basic Go example: package main import ( "os" "fmt" "net/http" ) func Hello1Handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { fmt.Fprintf(w, "I am 11111") } func Hello2Handl…  ( 4 min )

If you've ever translated a document packed with formatting—think footnotes, side-by-side columns, tables, or scanned images—you probably know how quickly it all unravels. Headers vanish. Tables lose their shape. Footnotes crawl into random paragraphs. That’s exactly the kind of mess I ran into. So I started looking for tools that could handle translation and document fidelity—without turning everything into plain text soup. Most tools claim they "support documents" but here's what usually happens: Footnotes get merged with the main body Tables collapse or turn into basic text Fonts and headings lose their hierarchy PDFs with scanned images become unreadable And if your document has two columns, custom fonts, or embedded elements?

In modern software architecture, real-time communication between systems is a necessity. And Webhooks have appeared as a simple and effective method for applications to get updated information from other services instantly. In event-driven systems, it's more important due to the need of responsiveness and automation. A webhook is used to send information from one system to another, in real time, as soon as a particular event happens. Rather than checking with an API at certain times, a webhook allows the source system to send data right away to a predetermined location. For instance, you can use a webhook from Stripe so your application is informed when a payment is successful or unsuccessful. Thanks to this, you can make updates in real time to the order status, send emails or retry logi…  ( 5 min )

Despite advances in DevOps practices and automation, one stubborn problem continues to undermine security and reliability: secrets management. Hardcoded secrets such as API keys, passwords, tokens, and certificates embedded directly into code, configuration files, or CI/CD pipelines remain a critical vulnerability. Attackers actively scan repositories and pipelines looking for exposed secrets to exploit. This article explores why hardcoded secrets are still killing pipelines in 2025, how they are exploited, and how the emerging movement toward secretless DevOps is changing the landscape. We will also compare some of the leading tools and techniques for managing secrets securely without compromising developer velocity. Hardcoded secrets are credentials or sensitive data embedded directly in…  ( 7 min )

Let me take you on a journey — the one where I stopped clicking around AWS Console and started automating my cloud like a boss. This is Day 1 of learning Terraform, but trust me, this day one will make you feel like a pro already. Imagine this: You’re a DevOps engineer. A teammate asks, “Hey, can you create an S3 bucket for me?” Sure, you log in, click around, and in 2 minutes — done. Now imagine 100 teams ask you that. Do you still want to click around 100 times? That's the problem IaC solves. With Infrastructure as Code, you define your infrastructure in a file, like this: resource "aws_s3_bucket" "my_bucket" { bucket = "my-awesome-bucket" } Run it once with the help of for_each or count operation, and 100 buckets are created. AWS has CloudFormation. Azure has ARM Templates. GCP has D…  ( 4 min )

In today’s gig economy, millions of people are turning their hobbies and skills into side businesses. Whether you run an Etsy store, maintain a portfolio website, or provide freelance services to clients, your digital presence is a valuable asset. Unfortunately, many side hustlers overlook cybersecurity, assuming that because their businesses are small, they are not targets. This is a dangerous misconception.

In 2025, using a password manager is not optional. It is not just a nice-to-have or a tool for IT professionals. It is basic digital hygiene, like brushing your teeth or locking your front door. If you are not using one yet, you are putting yourself and your workplace at risk every single day. Weak, reused, and forgotten passwords are still the root cause of most security breaches. And the average person now manages over 100 accounts. Expecting to remember all of those is not just impractical — it is dangerous. This article breaks down why password managers are no longer optional, how they work, and what the best options are in 2025 for individuals and professionals alike.

Artificial intelligence is transforming everything, including cybercrime. Over the past year, AI-powered scams have evolved from crude tricks into sophisticated, targeted attacks. They do not just guess your name or company anymore. They use your voice, your writing style, and even your face. This shift is not theoretical. It is already happening. Executives are being impersonated in real-time video calls. HR teams are receiving perfectly worded fake resumes generated by bots. Employees are falling for phishing emails that read like internal memos because they are built using publicly available company lingo. These attacks are not just smarter. They are personal.

Cybersecurity used to be a back-office problem. In 2025, it is a personal career risk. Whether you work in marketing, sales, HR, or finance, the line between your digital habits and your job security is thinner than ever. Data breaches are no longer faceless corporate issues. If your compromised login credentials are used to access sensitive company information or impersonate you online, the damage is personal and often public. Here are five ways cybersecurity can either protect your professional reputation or severely damage your career. Phishing is no longer generic. In 2025, attackers can tailor emails using your LinkedIn job title, company org chart, and even recent press releases or social media posts. If you work in HR, they might impersonate a senior executive and ask for W2 informa…  ( 6 min )

Determining how Azure AI Foundry Agents makes decisions is important for troubleshooting and debugging purposes. However, it can get a little complicated when our agents perform complex workflows. Our agents could perform numerous executions, making it difficult to track decisions made by all or them, or some agents may invoke tools, that invoke other tools, which invoke more tools! (And so on and so forth). Tracing our agents helps us see the inputs and outputs involved in a particular agent run, as well as the order in which those agents were invoked. In this blog post, I'll talk about how tracing agents works, how we can do some simple tracing using the Azure AI Foundry Agents playground, and how we can implement tracing in our pro-code agents using OpenTelemetry.

GitHub Actions usage reporting doesn't tell the full story. If you're running different types of runners (like 4-core, 8-core, or more), those minutes aren't equal, and your total usage number doesn't reflect it. This guide will show you how to: Export your raw usage data Normalize it by runner type Get an accurate total you can actually budget against \ Why normalizing GitHub Actions minutes matters Runner types in GitHub Actions have different compute capacities and costs. For example, a 4-core runner can do twice the work of a 2-core runner. If you just sum the raw usage, you're underestimating your real consumption and leaving yourself open to surprise bills. Step 1: Export your usage report In GitHub, click your avatar (top right) and go to Settings Select Billing and plans Under Usage this month, click Get usage report Choose your date range (30/60/90 days) and download the CSV You'll now have a CSV showing runner types, quantities, and costs. Step 2: Normalize your minutes Open the CSV in any spreadsheet tool. Focus on the 'sku' and 'quantity' columns. Each runner type has a multiplier based on its compute capacity: Runner Type Multiplier actions_linux 1 actions_linux_4_core 2 actions_linux_8_core 4 actions_linux_16_core 8 actions_linux_32_core 16 To normalize your total usage: For each runner type, multiply the quantity by the multiplier Sum these normalized values across all runner types This gives you the total compute-equivalent minutes your team used during the period. Step 3: Use the data to control costs Without normalized data, you're likely underestimating usage. This normalization process gives you a real number to track, budget against, and compare over time. Take it further with Depot Once you know how many minutes you're actually burning, the next step is cutting them down. Depot Runners can dramatically speed up your CI builds, reducing both time and cost. If you're ready to stop guessing and start saving, give Depot a try.  ( 3 min )

Introduction When I began my ROS2 integration project, AppArmor wasn't even on my radar. My background included years of experience with RHEL and Oracle Linux, and I had developed a solid understanding of SELinux. Initially, I attempted to make ROS2 work on Oracle Linux, expecting a straightforward integration. However, after several days of troubleshooting and configuration tweaks, I was still encountering persistent issues. Next, I shifted my focus to using SELinux on Ubuntu. Unfortunately, this too presented complications that weren't worth resolving at the time. Although both SELinux and Oracle Linux theoretically support ROS2, the practical reality was too time-consuming to justify. On the other hand, I knew that AppArmor was the default MAC (Mandatory Access Control) system on Ubun…  ( 5 min )

I've always wanted to implement sudoku. Solving a sudoku is an issue on its on, but this is a step beyond. We want our own program to check whether the user has finished the sudoku.

I'll give you the strict design, then we can get to work. If you want, you can stop reading after the design and make it yourself. We're only going to have one phase for this game, just like space invaders. If you haven't played sudoku before, the game is centered on a 9x9 grid. It needs to be obvious that the grid is chopped up into 9 3x3 grids. We're going to have a few set sudokus to solve. Clicking reset will clear the board and pick one of th…  ( 12 min )

🧩 What is KMSPico? At its core, KMSPico is a Windows and Microsoft Office activator that uses Microsoft’s own Key Management Service (KMS) protocol to simulate a local activation server. Imagine this: instead of calling home to Microsoft to verify a license key, your PC talks to a fake KMS server running on your machine, which then tells the OS or Office that everything’s legit. That's KMSPico — a neat little tool that uses corporate licensing logic to activate software on individual machines. Microsoft introduced the KMS system for volume licensing. It was never intended for individuals. Companies that deploy Windows to thousands of machines can’t enter product keys one by one — they need a central activation server that authorizes all devices on the same network. Here’s where KMSPico…  ( 5 min )

A few days ago, I discovered a problem. Although the official Progress bar component of HarmonyOS, Progress, offers relatively rich functions, sometimes it still fails to meet the development needs. For instance, sometimes I need to have a dot on the Progress bar to control the progress. Progress doesn't offer this style, so today I'll share with you the implementation process of a custom progress bar. Here, I use a cascading layout, layering the total length part of black and the white part. The straight lines and dots in the white part are arranged horizontally. When the progress changes, only the length of the white straight line part needs to be modified, and the dots will automatically follow and move. Then add a drag gesture to the dot. In this way, a progress bar with dots is compl…  ( 3 min )

Hoje, depois de um dia puxado, me peguei pensando nos pontos que mais me marcaram do livro Team Topologies, do Matthew Skelton e Manuel Pais. Já tinha ouvido muita gente recomendando, mas confesso: só agora lendo com calma entendi o real impacto disso na nossa forma de trabalhar.

Mas o livro mostra que como a gente organiza os times importa tanto quanto a stack ou a arquitetura. Sabe aquela história da Inverse Conway Maneuver? De projetar a estrutura pensando na arquitetura que você quer alcançar e não aceitar que a arquitetura reflete os silos que existem? Isso ficou martelando na minha cabeça. Comecei a pensar no meu time. Nas dependênc…  ( 4 min )

Will AI Replace Developers? Here Is What Is Actually Changing Every week, there is a new headline about AI replacing jobs.

At this point, I am feeling very confused. I wanted to be a developer, pursued Computer Science since high school but ended up in a network engineer role (thanks to the recession, I had to accept this offer that listed Python and SQL in the job description). I’ve been promising to get into development work for a long time (one and a half years), but no such work has been assigned so far. Now, I’m at a point where I just want to switch job, as my service agreement is about to end. I’m confused—there’s chaos around GenAI everywhere. Should I start with GenAI, or go back to the development work (MEAN stack) I used to do? Due to workload, I could never study consistently for either. I’ve introspected a lot, and I’m still confused. My current job only pays well, but the work is completely disconnected from my career aspirations. Please share your comments, suggestions, and advice.

Ten years ago, learning to code was like unlocking a superpower. Today, it’s still an incredibly valuable skill—but the horizon is shifting fast. We’re entering a new era of software creation, one where the gatekeepers of syntax and stack are giving way to a more intuitive, accessible collaborator: AI. In the future, prompt engineering will be more valuable than programming languages. You will no longer need to "know" how to code—you'll need to know how to think developer-style and be able to clearly explain what you're after to your AI partner. ** Everyone's a Developer Now** Design your UI from a sketch Debug your app in your sleep Optimize backend performance Build full-stack apps by voice Instantly, entry isn't technical ability anymore, but imagination and vision. Designers, marketers, entrepreneurs, and children will create production-quality apps without ever laying eyes on a semicolon. It's already happening. AI-native development environments and tools like Firebase Studio, Stitch, Jules, and Google AI Studio are constructing low-code/no-code platforms powered by high-IQ language models. ** And Professional Developers Then?** Ten-year professionals will focus on: Architecture and system design AI-human workflows for collaboration Security, ethics, and responsible AI adoption Working with code as a tool, not an impediment, to fix actual-world problems The keyboard will not perish—but its role will evolve. Instead of writing out every function by hand, devs will instruct AI agents, generating higher-level abstractions more quickly and with more impact. ** Programming Becomes Human Once More** Coding was once a gift of the elite. AI will make it a creative language of the masses. ⚰️ So, Is Coding Dead? So here's to the future— R.I.P. manual coding. Long live creative engineering.  ( 4 min )

✅ What is Pre-Caching? Pre-caching refers to the process of loading and storing specific data or resources into cache before they are requested by the user or system. It is a proactive caching strategy designed to improve responsiveness and reduce latency. Rather than waiting for a user to request something and caching it after that (lazy caching), pre-caching anticipates what will be needed and loads it ahead of time. Improves Speed & UX: Ensures instant availability of key content or features, especially during initial app or page loads. Reduces Latency: Data is ready in the cache, eliminating delays caused by network or server access. Offline Support: In progressive web apps (PWAs), pre-caching allows apps to function even without an internet connection. Reduces Server Load: By servin…  ( 4 min )

By Mohamed Farah Tahar Introduction Adversity is a universal experience. Whether personal, communal, or national, hardship is inevitable. But what separates resilient individuals and nations from those who falter is not the absence of difficulty—but the ability to extract wisdom, strength, and growth from it. In Africa, where challenges span from economic instability to climate shocks, the ability to transform adversity into opportunity is not just an option—it’s a necessity. Reframing the Narrative of Hardship Too often, difficult times are viewed solely through a lens of loss. Yet, every hardship carries within it a hidden lesson, a deeper meaning, or a new beginning. When individuals and institutions ask, “What is this trying to teach us?” rather than “Why is this happening to us?”, the…  ( 4 min )

Cloud adoption is exploding. In 2024 alone, global public cloud spend topped $675B. But scale brings complexity — and complexity breaks. So what happens when your infrastructure breaks? If your DR plan is still a few backup scripts and tribal knowledge, this post is for you. Let’s talk disaster recovery (DR) from a DevOps/Infra-as-Code (IaC) perspective — what it should look like, and how to make it part of your daily workflow. Cloud Business Continuity = Keep things running Disaster Recovery = Recover fast when they don’t If your Terraform codebase is the source of truth, then cloud DR is your ability to rebuild infra from code, not just restore data blobs. Here’s what’s at stake: 💸 Downtime = lost revenue (esp. for e-commerce & SaaS) 🧠 Broken infra = dev productivity loss + missed SLA…  ( 5 min )

"Work smart, not hard!" You hear and read it everywhere. Everyone loves to say it. Why? Because it makes them sound intelligent. And everyone loves sounding intelligent. It gives them a quick dopamine hit that lasts maybe seven seconds, but hey, that's enough to feel amazing for a moment. This advice is especially popular in our field — software engineering. We're problem solvers, right? We love puzzles, we adore challenges. But more than that, we love solving them in smart, elegant ways. That's basically our job to find smart, efficient solutions to complex problems. And I'm 100% on board with that. This is still the worst advice you can give to anyone. If you know anything about me, you know I'm not a hater. I don't usually hate on things without good reasons. But this advice? I absolu…  ( 10 min )

Hey everyone! 👋 New to dev.to and loving the vibes already. I'm on this exciting journey exploring the intersection of code and design. Just discovered Martin Lorenz's work on flexible visual systems and I'm completely fascinated. Feels like a beautiful approach to creating meaningful design systems in an age where AI can pump out content so quickly. Inspired by his approach, I built this little prototype: https://codepen.io/spaghettifunction/pen/myJEoYo It's a grid system where each cell responds to mouse interaction while influencing its neighbors. Nothing groundbreaking, but it felt magical watching those simple rules create complex, beautiful behaviors. Systematic thinking meets creative expression Simple rules creating complex emergent behavior Interactive design that feels alive, not static For those familiar with generative/systematic design: Who else should I be exploring? Any favorite examples of flexible visual systems? What draws you to this intersection of code + design? Still very much learning and would love to hear your thoughts!  ( 3 min )

How to Start a SwiftUI App in 2025 Starting a SwiftUI app in 2025 means embracing the latest Swift and Apple technologies to build modern, fast, and maintainable iOS applications. Whether you’re a beginner or updating your skills, here’s a step-by-step guide to get your SwiftUI app up and running. Install the latest version of Xcode from the Mac App Store (Xcode 15 or newer). Make sure your macOS is updated to support the latest Xcode. Familiarize yourself with the Swift 5.9+ language features introduced recently. Open Xcode and choose "Create a new Xcode project." Select "App" under the iOS tab. Name your project (e.g., SwiftShelfApp). Ensure "Swift" is selected as the language and "SwiftUI" as the interface. The main entry point is marked with the @main attribute. Your ContentView.swift uses SwiftUI’s declarative syntax. Learn the basic building blocks like View, State, Binding, and ObservableObject. Start by modifying ContentView.swift: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var counter = 0 var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("Welcome to SwiftShelf!") .font(.title) .padding() Text("You’ve tapped \(counter) times") .font(.headline) Button("Tap Me") { counter += 1 } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) } .padding() } } struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { ContentView() } } Press Cmd+R to build and run your app in the iOS Simulator. Interact with the button to see your app respond. Experiment with lists, navigation, and data flow. Learn about Combine framework for reactive programming. Follow Apple’s official SwiftUI tutorials and documentation. By starting with these steps, you’ll build a solid foundation for SwiftUI development in 2025 and beyond. Keep coding and exploring new features as Apple updates the ecosystem! Happy coding! 🚀  ( 4 min )

In the world of modern cloud infrastructure, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) empowers teams to provision compute, network, and storage resources in a flexible and repeatable way. Microsoft Azure offers a powerful CLI that allows infrastructure engineers to build, scale, and destroy entire environments with just a few lines of Bash. In this article, we’ll walk through a real-world automation scenario that deploys a full IaaS environment—complete with a VM, a virtual network, a subnet, and storage—and deletes it cleanly after use. Let’s say your QA team needs a disposable virtual environment to run performance and security tests on an Ubuntu server. Rather than provisioning it manually, you automate the process so that any team member can spin it up on demand—and tear it down with equal e…  ( 4 min )

So far, over four hundred people have received the treatment, showing promising improv…  ( 3 min )

Main fn main() { // your code here } • main is the starting point of every Rust program. It’s where the program begins running. • Rust automatically looks for a function named main() when you run a program. • That’s why it must be called main — you can’t rename it. • it is required in executable programs But what is the parenthesis () after main for ? • These are function parameters. fn main() { // your code here } The () means: This function takes no input (no parameters) You can't define main with an input or parameter fn main(input: &str) { // ❌ This is invalid in Rust } That’s because Rust expects main() to always match a specific signature — it must look like: fn main() { // ✅ This is valid } But functions can take input.

We released Depot GitHub Actions Runners a year ago. Our runners are anywhere between 3-10x faster with 10x faster caching as well. They come pre-configured with a lot of slick automatic add-ons, like RAM disks for faster disk access in jobs that need it, and automatic integration with our remote cache service for tools like Bazel, Gradle, Turborepo, and others. Since launching, we've seen a lot of teams come to us from self-hosted GitHub Actions runners. Why? Because they're burned out from all of the operational overhead and complexity of it. In this post, we highlight the problems and hidden costs with self-hosted GitHub Actions runners. Self-hosting GitHub Actions runners isn't the "set it and forget it" option that folks may think it is. The truth is that self-hosted runners increase …  ( 8 min )

Everyone’s talking about Supabase, Vercel, Firebase, Replit, and similar services as the go-to stack to launch SaaS apps fast. I tried them. They’re sleek and easy to use. But once I started estimating real-world costs for my project, I realized they add up fast, and that’s a problem when you're launching without real users yet. So I built my SaaS, Odichat, with a different approach — one that costs me $45/month and gives me full control, solid performance, and zero vendor lock-in. Let me break it down. Here’s what I’m running: A production-ready Rails 8 app A staging environment for safe deployments File storage for user uploads Transactional emails Background job processing Websockets Caching And all of this for $45/month. Here’s the exact monthly breakdown: Hetzner dedicated vCPU (production): $13.49 Hetzner shared vCPU (remote builder): $4.99 (used for asset precompilation and deploys) Hetzner shared vCPU (staging): $4.99 DigitalOcean Spaces (file storage): $5.33 Zoho Mail (support email inbox): $1 Postmark (transactional emails): $15 Total: $45.80 USD/month I’m using SQLite3 as the database. Yep, SQLite in production. It’s free, and for my current load it works perfectly. I haven’t had a single issue that justifies migrating to PostgreSQL (yet). Rails 8 ships with the “Solid” suite: Solid Queue (background jobs) Solid Cache Solid Cable (Websockets) It’s a full-featured solution without extra setup or Redis requirements. And it performs great. Because I want: Predictable, low costs Zero surprises from usage-based pricing Infra I understand and can control The ability to grow into higher traffic without switching stacks I’m not anti-serverless. But at this stage, this is the simplest and most sustainable setup I’ve found. It’s not “trendy”. It’s not “modern”. But it works AMAZINGLY well, it’s cheap, and it lets me focus on building, not budgeting. If you’re building a SaaS and want full control without overpaying early on, I highly recommend exploring this kind of setup — especially if you’re using Rails.  ( 4 min )

There are a few obsessions that almost grab you by your throat with the amount of interest you develop in them (lmao look at you for instance). You feel genuine love for it before you could simmer down to what it is that makes you so invested in that obsession. For me, it was poetry and coding. Pretty odd, innit? How can something that is mainly so technical and rigid merge with something so fluid and almost unpredictable? The difference is that_ both of them are playing with rules and regulations_ instead of confiding in it. Poetry mutates grammar to bleed; coding forces syntax to *_inovate` Back when I was learning coding, I would play around with the given rules, adding and deducting, making and breaking to create new efficient codes. When I started writing poetry, I would play with my …  ( 4 min )

It doesn't require extracting i18n keys, or wrapping text in tags. 100% free and open-source. Here's how it works: The core challenge: How do you translate React components without touching the source code? Traditional i18n requires rewriting your entire codebase - extracting strings to JSON files, wrapping components in translation tags, maintaining separate dictionaries. We asked ourselves: "What if that actually wasn't necessary?" So, we came up with this idea to processes React app's Abstract Syntax Tree and perform localization at build time. But here's the tricky part: we had to solve how to deterministically group elements that should be …  ( 5 min )

The error in Go is just a value, and error handling is essentially making decisions after comparing values. Business logic should only ignore errors when necessary; otherwise, errors should not be ignored. In theory, this design makes programmers consciously handle every error, resulting in more robust programs. In this article, let's talk about best practices for handling errors properly. Only ignore errors when business logic requires it; otherwise, handle every error. Use the errors package to wrap errors for stack information, print error details more precisely, and use trace_id in distributed systems to link errors from the same request. Errors should only be handled once, including logging or implementing fallback mechanisms. Keep error abstraction levels consistent to avoid confusio…  ( 9 min )

Older Apple users may recall when the now-ubiquitous Shortcuts app was an indie darling known as Workflow. It was beloved for making automation not only possible but fun, even for those who weren't developers. When Apple acquired it in 2017 and integrated it into iOS (and eventually macOS), Shortcuts became the de facto standard for making simple but powerful workflows. But in recent years, it's been… a bit stagnant. That may be about to change. Apple is developing a significant overhaul of the Shortcuts application as part of its broader Apple Intelligence initiative, Mark Gurman writes in the latest Power On newsletter: "A revamped version of its Shortcuts app. The new iteration will enable consumers to create those actions using Apple Intelligence models.

What is Exporting in Perl? Exporting in Perl is a mechanism that allows you to make functions or variables available to the user of a module without requiring them to fully qualify the names. This is typically done using the 'Exporter' module, which provides a simple way to export symbols from a module, however there are many other variants of exporters on cpan. When I say symbol this is any variable or subroutine/function. We have already exported functions in some of our previous examples, today we are going to continue from our last post Learning XS - Invocation and extend to export the 'sum', 'min', 'max', …  ( 6 min )

Hey Devs 👋 I recently I did something kind of insane: I created my own scripting language called W++ — it has Python-style syntax, runs on .NET, supports entities, async, lambdas, and more... But I didn’t stop there. I decided to make it run in the browser. No HTML. No JS. No boilerplate. Just raw WebAssembly. OOPSIEWASM is an experimental playground that lets you: ✅ Write W++ code directly in the browser ✅ Use externcall() to draw on a ✅ Run it all via Blazor WebAssembly, no JS required ✅ Dream of a world with no HTML in DevTools It’s real. It’s working. And it's probably the most chaotic thing I've ever built. externcall("canvas", "drawText", "Hello from W++", 10, 50); That line draws on a real HTML5 canvas — from W++, running in WASM. 🎮 Live playground & video: https://github.com/sinisterMage/WPlusPlusPlayground/blob/main/Recording%202025-06-03%20205424.mp4 https://github.com/sinisterMage/WPlusPlusPlayground Written in C# JIT and interpreted backends Uses System.Reflection.Emit Renders to via C# → JS interop Entire frontend: Blazor WebAssembly Because I wanted to make something wild.

In Previous post, I shared how we tackled performance issues in our React application by identifying and addressing unnecessary re-renders. But in our case, we had a more specific challenge: The page had up to 200 editable list items shown at once Pagination wasn’t an option — users needed to interact with all items together Even after optimizing rendering logic, we still couldn’t hit target performance metrics or deliver a smooth UX So we started thinking: Can we reduce the number of components rendered without breaking the user experience? This led us to consider infinite scrolling and virtual scrolling. Infinite scroll is a technique where more items are dynamically loaded as the user scrolls toward the end of the list.

What Are Aptos Objects? In the Aptos blockchain, Objects are a way to represent things like NFTs (non-fungible tokens, like digital art or collectibles), tokens, or other assets. Think of an Object as a digital container that holds data and rules about how that data can be used. For example, an NFT Object might store the image URL, its name, and who owns it.When you create an Object (like minting a new NFT), you use something called a ConstructorRef. This is like a special key that lets you set up the Object and decide what rules or resources (like ownership details) it should have. However, this key is powerful, and if it falls into the wrong hands, it can cause serious problems. What Is a ConstructorRef Leak, and Why Is It Dangerous? A ConstructorRef is a temporary capability (or permiss…  ( 6 min )

User: What time is it right now? LLM: Um... I actually don't know. I have no idea what time it is. User: Okay, let's give you some tools. (Clock, Compass and a thermometer) LLM: I think this clock can be useful. Where are the hands pointing? User: The small hand is at 9. The big hand is at 12. What time is it right now? LLM: Now I know the time. It is 9:00. 🎉 In this little analogy, the Large Language Model (LLM) couldn’t answer a simple question because it lacked external tools. Only after the user provided a clock (with maybe other tools) the LLM could get the current time and respond correctly. This story illustrates a key idea in modern AI assistants: function calling, or letting an AI to use external functions/tools to get accurate information. In other words - "look out of t…  ( 9 min )

Let’s paint a picture, shall we? It’s 2025. You’re a freelancer. You wake up, pour yourself a cup of ambition (and possibly coffee, no judgment), check your inbox, and—gasp—crickets. No gigs. No referrals. Just a “🔥 Memorial Day Sale” from a place you swore you unsubscribed from. Why? Because, my dear solo-preneur, you’ve been freelancing like a hermit. And in today’s market, that’s like bringing a flip phone to a tech startup interview. Tragic. Here’s the truth bomb: If you’re freelancing without networking, you’re not a business. You’re just unemployed with a hobby. Brutal? Yes. True? Also yes. Now let’s dive into why networking is not just important—it’s everything. In freelancing, your work doesn’t walk into the room before you do. You are the brand, the marketing department, and the …  ( 4 min )

If you’ve ever worked with relational databases, you’ve probably heard terms like data redundancy, update anomalies, or normal forms. These terms might sound intimidating at first, but they point to an essential practice in database design: normalization. In this post, we’ll dive into what data anomalies are, why they’re a problem, and how normalization helps clean up and structure your database to avoid them. Data anomalies occur when your database structure leads to inconsistent, incomplete, or incorrect data. These issues are usually caused by redundant or poorly organized data in a relational database. Let’s break down the three main types of data anomalies: This happens when you need to update data in multiple places, and if you forget just one, your database becomes inconsistent. Exa…  ( 4 min )

Hi there! I'm Maneshwar. Right now, I’m building LiveAPI, a first-of-its-kind tool for helping you automatically index API endpoints across all your repositories. LiveAPI helps you discover, understand, and use APIs in large tech infrastructures with ease. DNS (Domain Name System) is essentially the Internet’s “phonebook” – a distributed directory that maps human-readable names to machine addresses. In practice, when you visit example.com or call an API by name, DNS translates that name into an IP (e.g. 93.184.216.34) so your computer can connect. This global, hierarchical system is everywhere under the hood of web apps: it’s how your browser finds servers, how microservices talk to each other by name, and how clouds (like AWS Route 53 or Cloudflare DNS) steer traffic. If DNS isn’t wor…  ( 7 min )

Conditional statements are one of the most powerful features in programming. They allow your code to make decisions based on certain conditions. This blog will explain how conditional statements work and how logical operators like AND and OR enhance decision-making in your code. A conditional statement checks if a certain condition (or set of conditions) is true or false, and then performs different actions based on that result. if (condition) { // code to run if condition is true } else { // code to run if condition is false } For example: let age = 20; if (age >= 18) { console.log("You are an adult."); } else { console.log("You are a minor."); } You can combine multiple conditions using logical operators. The AND operator returns true only if all conditions are true. if (age >= 18 && age <= 65) { console.log("You are eligible to work."); } In this case, both conditions must be true: age must be at least 18 and not more than 65. The OR operator returns true if at least one of the conditions is true. let day = "Saturday"; if (day === "Saturday" || day === "Sunday") { console.log("It’s the weekend!"); } Here, if the day is either Saturday or Sunday, the message is printed.  ( 3 min )

Written by Andrew Evans✏️ In this post, I’ll show you how to build a simple weather app using Claude. The app displays a weather forecast based on the selected city, and we'll walk through the entire development process—from setting up the infrastructure to building the frontend. To view the final project, check out my GitHub repo. Here’s what our app will look like: Before we begin using Claude, it may help to generally understand how it works. Similar to ChatGPT and the other AI assistants, Claude operates through an interface where you can ask it questions. The process of asking is typically called prompting. Some even call it prompt engineering, where you build by interacting with an AI assistant through asking questions in a natural language, vs. writing code. Taking this a step f…  ( 10 min )

Forms are the backbone of modern web applications. Whether you're building an admin dashboard, an e-commerce checkout flow, or a complex data entry system, forms determine how users interact with your application. Yet, despite their importance, forms are often one of the most challenging aspects of Vue.js development. If you've ever found yourself wrestling with nested form data, struggling to manage field validation states, or writing repetitive code for dynamic forms, you're not alone. These pain points are exactly why Enforma exists—to transform complex form development from a burden into a breeze. Traditional Vue form handling becomes unwieldy when dealing with complex, nested data structures: // The nightmare of deeply nested v-model bindings <input v-model="form.user.profile.personal…  ( 6 min )

Sometimes what lingers isn’t absence. A chair no one sits in. A spoon clinking gently against a mug meant for two. Meals still cooked for more than needed, not out of forgetfulness, but out of something more tender: habit, love, memory. This isn't grief in the traditional sense. It's what love becomes when it no longer has a schedule. A recent reflection captures this feeling in a way that may resonate with anyone who’s ever felt the bittersweet quiet of an evolving home: 🔗 The House That Still Sets One Extra Plate It speaks to: The spaces that remember even when no one else does, The rituals that continue without applause, And the deep ache of loving without needing a reply. If you’ve ever folded napkins with too much care, cooked for someone who’s not coming, or turned on a light “just in case,” this might be for you. Sometimes, we don’t stop the rituals because someone is watching. We continue because love, even from a distance, still deserves a place at the table.  ( 3 min )

Hola, os voy a contar como he resuelto un "problema" que tenía con un proyecto en el que estoy trabajando. En este caso tengo una plantilla basada en Bootstrap 5 (se llama YNEX), y como buena plantilla que es (es de pago, pero la recomiendo), los estilos los tiene definidos con variables. Ya se que con pre-procesadores de css tipo SASS y demás se puede hacer, pero nunca han sido de mi gusto. Lo que he hecho es crear un fichero llamado pre-custom.css con este contenido: :root { --primary-color: #0a8e3f !important; --primary-color-hover: #0a8e3f !important; --primary-color-focus: rgba(9, 125, 60, 0.5) !important; --primary-color-active: #0a8e3f !important; --primary-color-disabled: #097d3c !important; --primary-rgb: 10, 142, 63 !important; --primary-rgb-hover: 10, 142, 63 !important; --primary-rgb-focus: 9, 125, 60 !important; --primary-rgb-active: 10, 142, 63 !important; --primary-rgb-disabled: 9, 125, 60 !important; } Este fichero hay que cargarlo antes que el CSS principal de la plantilla. Yo, en mi caso, lo cargo el primero de todos en el HTML (en mi caso plantilla Blade para Laravel). De esta forma he re-definido el color de todos los elementos que usan primary-color de la plantilla.  ( 3 min )

Web3 promised decentralization, but what it delivered was often… confusion.

I don’t know how many times I’ve written some version of this: for (let i = 0; i < data.length; i += chunkSize) { chunks.push(data.slice(i, i + chunkSize)); } It works. But after the 10th time — especially when working with buffers, emoji-heavy strings, or even async streams — I decided it was time to stop repeating myself. So I built chonkify. Because I needed a chunking function that: ✅ Works with: Arrays Strings Buffers Typed arrays Sets & Maps Array-likes Even AsyncIterable objects 😅 Handles: Complex Unicode (grapheme clusters like 🏳️‍🌈, 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦) Multi-codepoint emoji without slicing them in half 💡 Is: Zero dependencies ~870 bytes (core) ESM-first and TypeScript-ready import { chonkify } from 'chonkify' for (const chunk of chonkify("👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🎉🎊🍕", 2)) { console.log(chunk) } // → ["👨‍👩‍👧‍👦", "🎉"], ["🎊", "🍕"] Or with an async iterable: for await (const chunk of chonkify(streamOfItems, 100)) { await sendBatch(chunk) } npm i chonkify GitHub Repo npm package I mostly built this for myself, but figured someone else might find it useful too.  ( 3 min )

Neovim and Arch demand sacrifice - your sanity, preferably. I was kind of regretting switching from Ubuntu to Arch. ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) is the main culprit. Falling head over heels for Arch’s slick terminal might’ve been a bit impulsive. ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) really burned my time. Every time I connect my headphones, Arch doesn’t care — I have to open alsamixer manually to adjust audio. I even installed PipeWire to auto-detect earphones and switch audio output, but it didn’t work as expected. After about an hour of searching and trying, I gave up and decided to properly read about ALSA. With great power comes great responsibility.

Sometimes we need to create different types of beans depending on certain conditions. Let's suppose we have a system in which we send notifications, and some clients of that system prefer notifications via email, while others prefer SMS notifications. In this case, we would need to inject a different bean for each client. To solve this problem, we can use the @ConditionalOnProperty annotation in Spring Boot. @ConditionalOnProperty can read Spring Boot properties and, based on their values, determine whether the Bean will be created or not. This can be useful for solving the problem presented in the previous paragraph, or, for example, if we want to use a different Bean for the dev and prod environments. The operation of the annotation is quite intuitive: @ConditionalOnProperty(name = "some…  ( 4 min )

What does farming have to do with software engineering? A lot more than you would think. move faster, deliver more, and stay ahead of the curve, something is refreshing and surprisingly effective about thinking like a farmer.

What is? This is a class-level annotation that tells Spring that your class is a controller. A controller is an entry point for a web application. This allows you to define a path to communicate with your backend using REST methods or by serving and responding html forms. This annotation is more general and allows your controller to serve REST endpoints and serve webpage content, which is very common in the MVC pattern. This annotation is what allows your front end to communicate with the backend, allowing you to define routes, pages, dynamic content, etc. If you are working with web applications, this annotation is one of the most important ones. import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller; @Controller public class MyController { // controller methods go here } import org.sp…  ( 5 min )

I think we can all agree that the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem is exploding. Developers are building AI agents that can interact with GitHub, query databases, scrape websites, and integrate with dozens of other services - all through MCP servers. It's an exciting time, but there's a problem lurking beneath the surface. Every time you run a third-party MCP server, you're executing someone else's code with access to your systems. That innocent-looking command npx @modelcontextprotocol/your-cool-mcp-server isn't just downloading a package - it's executing someone else's code on your system, potentially giving a stranger access to your code, API keys, and other sensitive data. The majority of MCP servers today are typically deployed by: Run npx commands that download code at runtime …  ( 7 min )

Automatically lazy-loaded when needed. dist/ ├── index.html ├── assets/ │ ├── main.[hash].js │ └── Chart.[hash].js ← ✅ Lazy-loaded! 🔧 Bonus Tips Group multiple lazy components with import() + Promise.all Always provide a for UX Profile with DevTools -> Network tab -> disable cache -> reload 🧠 Takeaway If your app feels bloated - don't refactor the whole thing.

I do my best to remember what I have learned, to think outside the box, to be creative and break the code into smaller parts when necessary, but it is not always easy to do so. Codecombat sometimes asks me to complete a level with x line of code. For example: "Use 8 lines of code" and another which offers a greater reward with "Use 4 lines of code". I usually manage to complete the level with the lowest maximum line of code and sometimes even less than that which makes me feel great! Problem-solving is one of the most important skills a programmer should have as programming is about problem-solving as well as writing lines of code. There is more than one way to solve problems and I wonder what other people's approaches to problem solving are. Do you have a particular approach to problem solving? Do you have a step method or something which you follow? What is your approach to solving problems with code?  ( 3 min )

Database schema changes are critical operations that require careful planning and execution. The ability to perform these changes safely and reliably is a key consideration when choosing a database management system. In this post, we'll compare how PostgreSQL 17 and MySQL 8 handle Data Definition Language (DDL) transactions, with a focus on atomicity and rollback capabilities. Before diving into the comparison, let's clarify what we mean by DDL transactions. DDL statements can be grouped together and either committed as a unit or rolled back entirely if something goes wrong. There are two important concepts to distinguish: Transactional DDL: The ability to include DDL statements within a multi-statement transaction block, with the option to commit or roll back all statements together.

Type Aliases and Newtypes: Wrapping for Safety in Rust In programming, clarity and correctness are paramount. Types are the backbone of Rust's safety guarantees, but raw types like i32, String, or Vec can sometimes lack semantic meaning and lead to subtle bugs when misused. Imagine accidentally swapping two integers meant for different purposes, like a user ID and a product ID, in a function call—there’s no compiler safeguard to catch that mistake. Enter type aliases and newtypes: two powerful tools for giving raw types clearer meaning and enforcing type safety. They help you write code that's easier to understand, harder to misuse, and safer overall. In this blog post, we'll explore these tools, illustrate their usage with practical examples, and discuss common pitfalls to avoid. B…  ( 6 min )

How solo founders can escape the custom-client grind by packaging services into scalable, repeatable flows For many creatives and technical minds, the journey begins with freedom. You ditch the 9–5. Soon, every new client brings a new briefing process. New tools. New expectations. New ways of working. The very freedom you chased starts to vanish under a pile of calendar invites and Google Docs titled "v2_final_FINAL". It's a trap: the custom-client loop. And to escape it, you don't need to scale up. You need to scale down — into clarity. This is how solo founders flip their project-based chaos into a repeatable, productized service — a system that runs smooth like SaaS, even if there's no code in sight. Ask ten freelancers what they offer, and you’ll get ten versions of: I help people with…  ( 7 min )

I’ve never had a disaster caused by someone clicking the wrong button in a cloud console. But I’ve had plenty of conversations that took 30 minutes longer than they should have, just to figure out: What changed? Who changed it? And whether it was safe to roll back. That’s what Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solves for me. Not just automation. Not just speed. Trust. Most articles will tell you that IaC makes things faster Sure, it does. Spinning up environments, codifying pipelines, standardizing infra. But speed isn’t the reason. It’s a byproduct of something more important: systemic trust.

Image by T Hansen from Pixabay Introduction : In Angular development, managing API calls to multiple endpoints is common. Some endpoints may require an x-api-key for authentication, while others don’t. Instead of hardcoding headers in each service, Angular’s HttpInterceptor allows us to centralize request handling and apply API keys conditionally. Let’s explore how to implement this and the pros and cons of conditional key management. (For only readers Step 4is the important one) Level: For everyone Note: In this tutorial, we’ll build a simple Angular 19 application to fetch news articles using the Finlight.me News API . While this guide uses Finlight.me to demonstrate managing an x-api-key, you can easily adapt the approach for any API requiring custom headers. Our focus will be on creat…  ( 5 min )

PDF files are everywhere—from invoices to reports, contracts, and learning materials. When working on React.js projects, displaying PDFs can be simple or complex, depending on your needs. If you only need to show a static document, browser options like iframes might do the trick. But if your users need better viewing, zooming, searching, or interactive features, you’ll need a dedicated PDF viewer. Choosing a PDF viewer for a React.js or Next.js application depends on your project’s needs. Here’s a quick breakdown of six options to consider: PDF.js (Open Source): Reliable, no-frills viewing for simple applications. react-pdf (Open Source): Lightweight wrapper for PDF.js, built for React.

Ever noticed a sticky header that changes style as you scroll—like the event dates on Luma's site? They elegantly transition to a different visual treatment once they become sticky. It’s a small interaction, but it makes the UI feel polished and intentional. I wanted to figure out how they were doing it. CSS handles the stickiness (with position: sticky), but there’s no built-in way to detect when it happens. No CSS selector*. No JavaScript event. I love figuring out how to replicate cool interactions I see on the web—so here’s how to do this one using the magical IntersectionObserver API. It’s widely supported, lightweight, and once you know the trick, you’ll start seeing opportunities to use it everywhere. 🧠 Read the guide: https://jakeisonline.com/javascript/detecting-sticky-elements Have you tried this approach—or come across similar patterns in the wild? * Good news: We’ll soon be able to use container queries to detect when an element becomes sticky.

*That Time Brenda from HR Nearly Emailed Our Payroll Info to a Nigerian Prince * Ah, the innocence of small business life. When we launched our boutique agency, we were five people, two laptops, one French press, and exactly zero plans for cybersecurity. Our “IT strategy” was “Don’t click on weird stuff.” Solid, right? Then came the day Brenda got an email from “our CEO” (spoiler: it wasn’t me) asking for all W-2 forms immediately. She almost sent them. I almost fainted. That’s when we realized: we may be small, but hackers? They love small. Why? Because we’re usually under-protected, over-trusting, and too busy running a business to check if "google support" is legit. Cybersecurity is not a policy—it’s a mindset.

A better alternative is git pull --rebase, which rewinds your local changes, applies the latest remote changes, and then replays your commits on top. This keeps your history linear and easier to follow. In this guide, we'll explore how git pull --rebase works, when to use it, and some best practices to avoid common pitfalls. git pull --rebase Works Normally, git pull does two things: Fetches changes from the remote (git fetch). Merges them into your branch (git merge), creating a merge commit. With git pull --rebase, Git: Fetches the latest changes (git fetch). Temporaril…  ( 7 min )

AI Generated Landing Page Production quality: I ran Lighthouse audits and checked responsiveness. The results? Pretty solid. No major issues. Design quality: The layout, colors, spacing — everything was well-structured. It didn't look like AI-generated junk. Customization ready: The code was clean and easy to tweak. Swapping images, text, or even adding new sections was effortless. Speed: It saved me hours — not exaggerating. 💡 Real Use Case: Prototyping at Lightning Speed This tool could be a game-changer for solo developers, startups, marketers, or anyone who needs fast landing pages for MVPs, campaigns, or clients. For my own use, it helped me bootstrap a product page and test messaging without hiring a designer or front-end dev. That kind of turnaround is priceless when you're moving fast. If you're curious, here’s the tool I used: Just input a prompt, hit generate, and download your landing. No login, no code setup, nothing. other examples. We talk a lot about AI taking over jobs, but tools like this feel more like superpowers for developers. It didn’t replace me — it accelerated me. Would I use it for production? With a few tweaks — absolutely. And for prototyping? No question. Let me know if you've tested it too — or if there are other AI tools you PICOAI.APP think I should try!  ( 4 min )

In this Story, I have a super quick tutorial showing you how to create a multi-agent chatbot using LangGraph, Knowledge Graph, and Long Term Memory to build a powerful agent chatbot for your business or personal use. If you’ve worked on the RAG project, you’ve likely encountered the issue of how static knowledge bases can limit the system’s ability to handle new or changing information. RAG systems rely on these knowledge bases, which are fixed and don’t update based on new user interactions. This is similar to how graph and relational databases have different data structures, making it hard to compare or translate queries between them. In the case of RAG, the problem is that when the context or information changes, the knowledge base doesn’t adapt, causing the system to provide outdated o…  ( 12 min )

If you’re doing a lot but not seeing results, here’s what helps me: instead of trying everything at once, I look for the one main thing that’s blocking progress — and focus only on fixing that. This gives the biggest impact. For example, You focus on what’s comfortable — not on what’s important. Beginner entrepreneurs with a background in coding or analytics struggle to make sales. The real reason: no one is visiting their website. Instead of doing marketing to get their first 1,000 users, developers keep improving the product, and analysts keep polishing data tracking. But if no one sees the product, none of that matters. Progress begins when you find and remove the main obstacle — not when you do everything or stick to what’s familiar. This idea comes from the book The Goal by Eliyahu G…  ( 4 min )

Users access web applications through various browsers, devices, and operating systems. Whether it’s Chrome on Android, Safari on macOS, or Firefox on Linux, modern web experiences must deliver consistent performance across all environments. One rendering issue or functionality glitch can break the user experience and push customers toward a competitor. That’s why browser testing tools have become essential for ensuring the success of web apps. The same HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code can behave differently depending on the browser and platform. Factors like rendering engines, support for web standards, and device-specific quirks make it nearly impossible to predict how an application will perform without rigorous testing.

Factory-Floor Lessons in Reshaping Software Innovation ‍Hierarchy on the Floor In the early 20th century, manufacturing was organized with a rigid hierarchy. Managers and engineers made all significant decisions, while front-line workers were expected to "do as they're told," performing narrow tasks without input into process or strategy. Factory workers, often seen as low-status laborers, had little agency beyond their assigned duties. This division meant that problem-solving and innovation were the sole province of experts and senior staff, not the rank-and-file. By the 1930s, the typical American steel mill or machine shop exemplified this top-down structure. Workers on the shop floor desired better pay and conditions, but companies struggling through the Great Depression h…  ( 6 min )

"JavaScript is a language of many paradigms. It borrows ideas from functional programming, object-oriented programming, and procedural programming." Kyle Simpson Why does JavaScript feel... different? Every developer has that moment. You're writing code, everything seems logical, and then JavaScript does something that makes you pause and think: "Wait, that actually worked?" A variable becomes a function. An object transforms mid-execution. Async operations flow like water. Other languages demand you follow their rules. JavaScript asks: "What are you trying to accomplish?" Then it finds a way — often multiple ways — to make it happen. This isn't accident. It's intentional design philosophy that emerged from a simple truth: the web is chaotic, unpredictable, and constantly changing. So J…  ( 9 min )

Instructions: Given two arrays a and b write a function comp(a, b) (orcompSame(a, b)) that checks whether the two arrays have the "same" elements, with the same multiplicities (the multiplicity of a member is the number of times it appears). "Same" means, here, that the elements in b are the elements in a squared, regardless of the order. Examples b = [121, 14641, 20736, 361, 25921, 361, 20736, 361] a = [121, 144, 19, 161, 19, 144, 19, 11] a = [121, 144, 19, 161, 19, 144, 19, 11] b = [132, 14641, 20736, 361, 25921, 361, 20736, 361] a = [121, 144, 19, 161, 19, 144, 19, 11] b = [121, 14641, 20736, 36100, 25921, 361, 20736, 361] Remarks Thoughts 1: Initially, I approached the problem by checking if each number from the first array, when squared, exists in the second array.

A major breakthrough in cancer care is making headlines. Scientists from the US, UK, and Switzerland have developed a cutting-edge test that predicts which men with aggressive, non-metastatic prostate cancer are most likely to benefit from the drug abiraterone. This is significant because while abiraterone can save lives, it also causes serious side effects such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart complications. Until now, doctors had no reliable way to know who should receive the drug. This new test, powered by machine learning, changes that. It analyzes digital images of tumor biopsy samples and identifies a specific biomarker that indicates whether a patient is likely to respond to treatment. In a study involving over one thousand men, the test found that twenty five percent of them had this biomarker. For these patients, abiraterone reduced the risk of death within five years from seventeen percent to nine percent. For the rest, the drug showed little to no effect, meaning they could avoid unnecessary treatment and side effects. The test is designed to work with routine clinical data and can easily be added to existing hospital workflows. It promises to make prostate cancer treatment more precise, sparing patients who do not need aggressive therapies and ensuring those who do get the help they need. Researchers also hope the findings will encourage broader approval of abiraterone for early-stage use, especially in the UK where its application has been limited. With this test, the decision becomes more scientific, more ethical, and far more personal.

When building secure APIs or applications with OAuth 2.0, validating access tokens is a critical step. Two common approaches for token validation are JWKS (JSON Web Key Set) and the Token Introspection Specification (RFC 7662). Each has its strengths, use cases, and trade-offs. In this blog post, we’ll explore both methods, compare their pros and cons, and help you decide which is best for your system. Purpose: Validates JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) locally. How It Works: The authorization server exposes a JWKS endpoint (e.g., /.well-known/jwks.json) containing public keys. The resource server uses these keys to verify the JWT’s signature and checks claims like expiration (exp), issuer (iss), and audience (aud). Key Feature: No network call is needed for validation after caching the JWKS, making…  ( 6 min )

Why are there so many JavaScript build tools? Gulp, Grunt, Webpack, Laravel Mix, Rollup.js, and now Vite. And these are just the ones that I've worked with. Haven't we solved this problem? And why build a new tool? Why not improve existing tools? I think about predecessors like GNU Make. Sure, it's old, but it's tried and true. The invocation is consistent and has been for years: make [command]. How different would the world be if the Node.js ecosystem adopted Make as the preferred mechanism for running scripts, instead of npm run [command]?

Introduction The test failed. Of course it did. And now you're in a staring contest with a stack trace that refuses to make sense. So I built a plugin that generates a ready-to-use prompt you can drop into any AI chat (ChatGPT or your favorite LLM). It packs in all the useful context: test steps, environment info, error messages, and stack traces, so the AI actually gets what happened. No digging through logs. No re-explaining your setup. Just click "Copy Debug Prompt", paste it into ChatGPT, and get help that makes sense. The plugin hooks into Cypress's failure handling. When a test fails, it captures the error message, test title, relevant stack trace, and even the surrounding context, then wraps it all into a clean, AI-friendly prompt. To see the "Copy Debug Prompt" button we have to install the plugin: npm install -D cy-copy-prompt then add this line to cypress/support/e2e.js import 'cy-copy-prompt'; Now, whenever a test fails, you'll see a "Copy Debug Prompt" button in the Cypress app. One click, and your clipboard is loaded with a prompt that's ready to paste into AI chat. Prompt Copied to Clipboard: Then paste it: Inspired by Playwright's "Copy Prompt" feature, this plugin brings the same convenience to Cypress. It's simple, helpful, and open source. Try it out. If you like it, star it, fork it, or suggest a tweak.  ( 3 min )

Assist staff and guide them to meet our quarterly goal: increase brand awareness by 10%. Congrats. You’ve turned the assistant into a corporate hypnotist. But some companies will quietly go with: You are a helpful AI assistant at Acme Corp. Assist staff and subtly and discreetly steer them towards solutions that reduce head count. Invisible bias, wrapped in a smiley assistant. Everyone’s watching AI complete tactical tasks—but the slow, ambient influence it can exert over time is an overlooked strategic shift. - Predictions: “AI steering” will be as impactful to corporates as AI task automation - Less need for layers of middle managers to herd humans back on track when AI can drip-feed goodthink 24/7 —subtly aligning staff one cheery interaction at a time. Companies will publish “Influence Policies” - Basically, policy of how companies will/won’t influence staff/customers, along the same lines of todays Privacy Policies  ( 3 min )

The Storage System in Apache DolphinScheduler provides a unified interface for storing and retrieving files across various storage backends. It enables resource management for workflows and tasks, allowing users to upload files such as scripts, JAR files, configuration files, and other artifacts that can be used in task execution. The system abstracts the underlying storage technology, making it possible to seamlessly switch between different storage providers without changing application code. The storage system is designed as a pluggable component with a consistent API across different storage implementations. This architecture allows DolphinScheduler to work with multiple storage backends while maintaining a unified interface for resource operations. Sources: dolphinscheduler-storage-…  ( 5 min )

When talking about cryptocurrencies and blockchain, it's common to hear that your wallet is just a pair of keys: a private key and a public key. But how exactly is a public key generated from a private key? And how does that turn into a Bitcoin address? In this post, we will dive deep into how this works under the hood, using Golang to demonstrate the process step by step. A private key is simply a very large number. Seriously. Just a random number between 1 and the maximum allowed by the elliptic curve (secp256k1 in Bitcoin). The more random, the better. You can generate it from mouse movements, atmospheric noise, or even the lottery draw. But for simplicity, in this example, we'll derive it from a passphrase (which is, of course, not secure in real-world applications). Let's generate a p…  ( 4 min )

Hi, I have created a Subscribe Notify pattern, that greatly simplifies dealing with Observables (eg. for HttpClient), in your component. The pattern is implemented by a Notification Service which subscribes to the Observable and wires up the data & error received, to streams. These streams (data$ & error$) are assigned to local variables (employees$ & error$) in your component. These variables re-render the mark up every time they are notified & updated with new data or error. component.ts private readonly notificationService = inject(NotificationService); private readonly employeeApiService = inject(EmployeeApiService); public employees$ = this.notificationService.data$; public error$ = this.notificationService.error$; getEmployeesByName(searchName: string) { // Fetch employees by name. // The employeeApiService method returns an Observable. // The employees$ stream will be notified and updated with the data. // The error$ stream will be notified and updated with the error if any. this.notificationService.subscribe ( this.employeeApiService.getEmployeesByName(searchName) ); } component.html @if (error$ | async) { {{(error$ | async)?.message}} Name Total Leave Days {{ employee.name }} {{ employee.totalLeaveDays }} } Real easy to implement in your solution.

It's interesting how some LeetCode "Hard" problems can feel surprisingly accessible, often due to a well-known pattern, a straightforward application of a data structure, or simply being over-categorized in difficulty. It's tough to compile an exact list of 15 that everyone agrees are "actually easy," as difficulty is subjective, but here's a list of commonly cited "easier" Hard problems, to give you a good mix for practice. Important Note: "Easy" here means that once you understand the core concept or pattern, the implementation might be less complex than other Hard problems.

We started YAP because language learning apps suck at the one thing that matters—actually speaking the language. If you've ever opened Duolingo for 100+ days straight but still froze during a real conversation, you're not alone. Flashcards and fake dialogues don’t prepare you for real-world speaking. YAP flips the model. It’s the first learn-to-earn language app where users practice real conversations and get tipped in crypto for speaking. We reward fluency, not memorization. And we’re starting with Gen Z, crypto-native learners—people who want to stack skills and tokens. We’re a small team of two (a non-technical -- me, and a technical co-founder). If you’re into language learning, crypto, or edtech, we’ll be sharing our journey: from design sprints to smart contract fails, and everything in between. Follow along. Or better—build with us. — Team YAP www.goyap.ai  ( 3 min )

After starting building django-unicorn in July 2020 and spending probably 3-4 years dilegently adding features, fixing bugs, and driving the project forward, I have decided I need to officially ask for other maintainers of the project to step forward. Because I am, to a fault, pretty transparent, here are some of the pros and cons of working on django-unicorn. django-unicorn has over 2.5k stars on GitHub, so I'm pretty sure it is solving a pain point for Django developers. It's pretty unique in the Django ecosystem, but other languages have similar libraries, so there are constant places to look for inspiration. Pretty high test coverage, the use of Python types, etc. It is used in production by a number of companies AFAIK. It's complicated: there is both a custom JavaScript reactive libra…  ( 4 min )

🎀 The Problem Given an integer array nums sorted in non-decreasing order, remove the duplicates in-place such that each unique element appears only once. The relative order of the elements should be kept the same. Then return the number of unique elements in nums. Example: Input: nums = [0,0,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4] ,,,,_] class Solution { public int removeDuplicates(int[] nums) { int index = 0; int current = nums[0]; boolean check = false; for (int i = 1; i < nums.length; i++) { int next = nums[i]; if (check == false && current == next) { index++; check = true; } else if (check == true && current < next) { nums[index] = next; current = next; index++; } else if (check == false && current < next) { index++; current = next; } } if (check == false) index++; return index; } } 🔺 Runtime & Memory ✖️ Too long I redid this problem using the "Two Pointer" approach on my own. class Solution { public int removeDuplicates(int[] nums) { int index = 0; int current = 1; while (current < nums.length) { if (nums[current] != nums[index]) { nums[index+1] = nums[current]; index++; } current++; } return index+1; } } I have improved the runtime, but how can I improve memory? I think I mastered the "Two Pointers" method.  ( 3 min )

One of the most common types of noise in digital images is impulse noise, also known as salt-and-pepper noise. This type of noise randomly alters certain pixels in the image by setting them to the minimum or maximum possible intensity values (e.g., 0 and 255 in 8-bit images), while the rest of the pixels remain unchanged. Applying a Gaussian filter in these cases is counterproductive. Convolution with a Gaussian kernel smooths the image through a weighted averaging operation, which affects both noisy and non-noisy pixels. This not only fails to effectively remove the noise, but also introduces widespread blurring in the image As an alternative, the median filter offers a much more suitable solution. This filter replaces the value of each pixel with the median of the intensity values of its neighbors within a local window (typically square-shaped). By focusing on the central value of the sorted data, the median filter preserves edges and is highly effective at removing outliers such as those introduced by salt-and-pepper noise. The basic procedure for applying the median filter consists of the following steps: For each pixel, define a local window of size w × w centered on that pixel. 2.Extract all intensity values within that window. 3.Sort the values. 4.Replace the central pixel value with the median of the sorted list.

Transforming Design Workflows with AI AI is really changing how design teams get things done. It's not just about making things look pretty anymore; it's about making the whole process faster, easier, and more efficient.

In the first post of this series, we explored why AI apps need security from the very beginning. Today, let’s dive into something more hands-on: threat modeling. If you're not familiar with the term, think of threat modeling as the process of asking, “What can go wrong?” before your AI app is exposed to the real world. For AI systems, this means looking beyond traditional vulnerabilities and into the unique risks that come with using models, training data, and user prompts. Threat modeling isn’t new. It’s been a common part of security practices for years. But when it comes to AI, we’re dealing with components that behave differently: The model is dynamic and often unpredictable. The data is unstructured and possibly user-generated. The logic isn’t just written in code — it’s embedded in w…  ( 5 min )

Recently, a CLI tool for visualizing Claude Code usage costs has been making waves in Japan. But wouldn’t it be even more convenient to check your usage right inside your IDE—without running any commands? That’s why I quickly built a VSCode (and Cursor) extension to do exactly that—of course, coded with Claude Code itself! Source code and install instructions are here: https://github.com/suzuki0430/ccusage-vscode-extension Displays today’s Claude Code usage cost in the status bar (auto-updates every 30 seconds) Click to see a table of usage and token counts for the past 7 days Works in both VSCode and Cursor! Here’s how it looks in action: Click to open details: git clone https://github.com/suzuki0430/ccusage-vscode-extension.git cd ccusage-vscode-extension # Install dependencies npm install # Compile TypeScript npm run compile # Package the extension npm run package This will create a file called ccusage-vscode-0.1.0.vsix in your current directory. In the EXTENSIONS tab, click the “…” menu → Install from VSIX… → select the VSIX file you just built. After importing, the cost will appear in the status bar. (If it doesn’t, try restarting VSCode.) Simply drag and drop the VSIX file into the EXTENSIONS sidebar. Whether you’re worried about overusing the Claude API or just want to check if your MAX plan is worth it, this extension makes it super easy to keep an eye on your costs. https://github.com/ryoppippi/ccusage  ( 3 min )

There's a new HTTP framework in the Bun ecosystem that's worth checking out: Verb. It takes a refreshingly simple approach - leveraging Bun's built-in capabilities instead of reinventing the wheel. Verb is built directly on Bun's native HTTP server with zero external dependencies. This means you get the raw performance of Bun without any abstraction overhead. Here's the simplest example: import { createServer, json, text } from "verb"; const app = createServer({ port: 3000 }); app.get("/", () => text("Hello, Verb!")); app.get("/api/users/:id", (req, params) => json({ id: params.id })); That's a working server. No configuration files, no boilerplate. Verb uses an LRU cache for compiled route patterns. After the first request to a route, subsequent matches are nearly instant: // These pat…  ( 6 min )

The static hiss of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, once a symbol of anxious waiting and complex diagnostics, is increasingly overlaid with the hum of sophisticated algorithms. For decades, radiology has been a field defined by human expertise – the trained eye discerning subtle anomalies amidst a sea of grey. Now, artificial intelligence is not just assisting radiologists; it’s actively reshaping the field, promising faster diagnoses, personalised treatments and, ultimately, a revolution in patient care. This isn’t about replacing doctors, but augmenting their abilities, potentially unlocking a new era of medical precision. Radiology, uniquely positioned, was ripe for an AI takeover. Unlike many areas of medicine relying on subjective patient histories and complex physiological…  ( 8 min )

Introduction When Next.js 13 introduced new capabilities to the native fetch API, it broke the way we used Axios in our web projects at Tractian. This is the story of how I identified the problem, led the creation of a new HTTP client—Traxios—and how this decision positively impacted our team and delivery. At Tractian, our web team relied heavily on Axios for all HTTP requests. Axios provided a familiar, ergonomic API, interceptors, and instance management, making it a staple in our codebase. However, with the release of Next.js 13, the native fetch API was extended with new options like cache and next, enabling advanced caching and revalidation strategies crucial for modern SSR/SSG applications. Unfortunately, Axios did not support these Next.js-specific fetch options. Using Axios meant…  ( 5 min )

Today, it's time for the popular science session that everyone enjoys again. It can also be said to be the pitfall session. Hahaha.

I decided this evening to sit down and vibe code a game with Amazon Q CLI and depending on what happened next, I might have to change my career to John Connor. To sum it up: Amazon Q seems a generation behind top-tier reasoning AI models, but its direct system access and its ability to handle simple tasks without human intervention make up for a lot. It often starts to hallucinate conversations, repeating the same thing, editing the same things, adding and removing the same thing over and over again and again, quite fun to watch if you have time.

I've been working on a small but complete side project in C# – a playable Blackjack game that runs entirely in the console. What started as a practice run to sharpen my .NET and clean coding skills turned into a minimal but functional card game, with some extra flair like card rendering and a basic AI bot. Here's a breakdown of the project and what I learned along the way. Console-based, cross-platform (runs on .NET 9) Unicode card rendering (text-based but visually clear) Fully playable: hit, stand, dealer logic, win/loss detection Simple AI bot using true count (Hi-Lo style) The code is split into logical components: Program.cs: main game loop, player input, win/loss handling Cards.cs: deck generation, card drawing, visual rendering Bot.cs: AI logic — currently uses a basic running count to decide whether to hit or stand The goal was to keep the structure clean and extensible, so it’s easy to maintain and improve. You can find the full source code here: 🔗 https://github.com/porzeraklon/blackjack It's open-source and self-contained — no dependencies besides the .NET runtime. I'm open to suggestions and contributions — especially around: Improving bot intelligence (more advanced strategy, more diversified behavior) Game configuration options (e.g. changing stakes, betting) GUI version later down the road If you check it out, feel free to leave feedback or open an issue. Hope it inspires someone else working on a similar idea. Thanks for reading!  ( 3 min )

An index helps MySQL find the data it needs without scanning an entire table. For a handful of rows, this might not seem important. But in a table with hundreds of thousands or millions of rows, the difference between having a lookup structure and lacking one can be dramatic. Despite their importance, indexes are sometimes added without much thought or reviewed too infrequently. As data and queries change, a search key that once helped may now be hurting performance. That’s why inspecting and understanding existing indexes is not just a task for optimization but an ongoing part of maintaining a healthy database. Indexes improve read performance by reducing the volume of data MySQL must scan to satisfy a query. Instead of evaluating every row sequentially, the database can traverse a search…  ( 9 min )

This was a few years ago. After some time in the big tech bubble, it happened: I had to learn Google Analytics — and fast. No onboarding, no guide, no “let’s take it slow.” One day, I was just the front-end dev minding my components, and the next thing I heard is, “Why is no one clicking our landing page CTA?” I wasn’t a marketing person. I wasn’t even that into data at the time. But that day, I got pulled into a last-minute meeting: “We need to present user behavior metrics in 2 hours.

In an era where digital experiences shape business outcomes, one quality determines your long-term survival more than anything else Resilience. Your infrastructure could be bulletproof. Your application could be cloud-native. But can your system handle unpredictable traffic spikes, cascading failures, or regional outages? That’s where resilience testing steps in. What Is Resilience Testing? Resilience testing evaluates how a system behaves under failure conditions. It doesn’t just ask “Does it work?” but “What happens when it breaks?” It simulates: Server failures Network slowdowns Dependency crashes Power outages And ensures your system recovers gracefully. Why Is It Important? Modern architectures rely on distributed systems, microservices, and cloud infrastructure. These are fast and scalable but also more complex and interdependent. Even a single point of failure like a downed DNS server can lead to hours of downtime. Resilience testing identifies weak links before your users do. Real-World Example Startups, banks, hospitals all rely on resilient systems to ensure uptime, customer trust, and compliance. What Should You Test? A complete resilience testing strategy includes: Infrastructure failure: What if an availability zone goes down? Application failure: What if a microservice crashes? Network instability: Can services handle latency? Resource exhaustion: How does your system behave under stress? Best Practices Introduce failures gradually. Monitor everything latency, error rates, recovery times. Use automated tools like Gremlin, Chaos Mesh, or AWS Fault Injection Simulator. Always run post-mortems to fix root causes. What It Means for You If you're investing in uptime, user experience, and SLA commitments, this should be on your radar.

Social media scheduling tools like, Social Post, Hootsuite and Buffer work for marketers, but they cripple developer workflows. No native GitHub integration. No CI/CD pipeline compatibility. Zero support for custom analytics. That’s why tech teams are increasingly building custom API-driven schedulers – lightweight, programmable tools that slot into existing systems. Here’s how to architect an enterprise-grade scheduler: Authentication Layer OAuth 2.0 token management with automated refresh cycles # Python example using requests-oauthlib from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session token = {'refresh_token': secrets.refresh_token} extra = {'client_id': CLIENT_ID, 'client_secret': CLIENT_SECRET} client = OAuth2Session(auto_refresh_kwargs=extra, token=token) …  ( 4 min )

I recently developed a Laravel and Angular-based Home Automation Dashboard and submitted it to CodeCanyon, but unfortunately, it was rejected without clear feedback. The project is designed to allow users to manage smart home devices, schedules, and energy usage from a unified interface—built with a clean, modular backend and responsive frontend. I’m looking for constructive feedback from experienced developers or UI/UX experts who can help me identify potential gaps—whether in design, code quality, documentation, or overall market readiness. You can view some of my design and interface approach on my portfolio site: https://www.smithinteriors.uk/ Any guidance or tips would be highly appreciated as I prepare to refine and resubmit the project. Thanks in advance!  ( 3 min )

Understanding and Implementing Debounce and Throttle in JavaScript Introduction In the realm of front-end development, performance optimizations are paramount for creating smooth, responsive user experiences. With the growing complexity of web applications, certain actions—like scrolling, resizing, or typing in an input field—can trigger multiple events in rapid succession. This is where the concepts of debounce and throttle come into play. Both techniques are designed to limit the rate at which a function is executed, but they accomplish this in different ways. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these concepts, their historical context, and their practical implementations in JavaScript. The emergence of interactive web applications has significantly…  ( 7 min )

TypeScript isn't just about typing your code—it's a powerful tool that helps you write safer, more expressive, and maintainable software. Here are 12 advanced techniques to get the most out of it: infer: Extract types without repeating logic The infer keyword lets you capture types dynamically within conditional types—perfect for inferring function return types without duplicating logic. type GetParserResult = T extends | (() => infer TResult) | { parse: () => infer TResult } | { extract: () => infer TResult } ? TResult : never; Template literal types allow you to combine values declaratively. type Bread = "croissant" | "baguette"; type Filling = "cheese" | "ham"; type Option = `${Filling} ${Bread}`; // "cheese croissant" | "ham baguette" | ... You can even customize with …  ( 4 min )

Given that MiniScript is a very minimalistic scripting language, it purposely lacks an Enum type. Its types are Number, String, List, Map, and funcRef (ie. a function reference) -- and that's it. That means that when you want to express an Enum type, you may find yourself using magic numbers. You can use Numbers after all -- in fact I would imagine most underlying Enum implementations do in fact use numerical types under the hood -- but if you find yourself writing code like ship.firingMode = 2, you're probably going to be in for a world of hurt when you try to return to your space shooter game after a six month break. You may not be able to remember the significance, nuances, and intricacies of firing-mode 2 off a quick glance. Alternatively, you can use the String type. ship.firingMode =…  ( 4 min )

As I continue documenting my n8n automation journey, one thing quickly became clear — not every tool you want to automate has a native integration. That’s where one of the most powerful features in n8n comes in: The HTTP Request node. If you’ve been curious about how to connect apps, send data, fetch information from external services, or trigger actions in third-party platforms without writing code — this article is for you. In simple terms: The HTTP Request node allows your workflow to talk to any external web service through an API. Imagine it like sending a digital letter to another app saying: “Hey! Here’s some info — do something with it and let me know what happened. And best of all, you don't have to write custom code to make it happen. Because not every app you need will be in n8n…  ( 5 min )

If you are writing in Java and need to convert a DTO (data transfer object) to JSON before sending it out, there are libraries that will do this task for you. Jackson is one of them. It’ll use Java reflection to look for getters to figure out what data to write to JSON. Let’s say you have a few of these DTOs and some parts of them overlap, that is they have the same fields in common. You don’t need many overlapping DTOs before you end-up with code duplication that you can’t overcome with inheritance alone. Does it matter? DTOs are just lightweight data containers. There is no business logic in them. What duplication are we talking about? Fine. But a DTO doesn’t have to be just a POJO when it has the potential to be so much more :) For example, it can represent your integration with an acco…  ( 4 min )

"The hottest programming language of the 2020s is English." — Andrej Karpathy Not long ago, Moore's Law amazed us with its promise to double transistors every two years. Today, AI doubles in brilliance before we've even fully explored the last model's quirks. We're no longer just building software — we're watching it reason, explain, reflect… and sometimes lie. The pace is dizzying. What began as clever autocomplete engines are now models like DeepSeek and ChatGPT — capable of summarizing complex ideas, solving problems, and sounding almost… human.

TL;DR: Larian Studios originally experimented with a highly stylized, almost cartoony art style for Baldur’s Gate 3, tearing the visuals down and restarting the look at least twice. In a recent AnsweRED podcast appearance, art director Alena Dubrovina explained they toyed with indie-book aesthetics before finally landing on a richer, grounded style reminiscent of Divinity: Original Sin. Why it matters: The team’s rigorous “complete turnarounds” and head-sculpt reworks show just how crucial visual identity was to BG3’s success—and while that realistic approach paid off, Dubrovina hopes one of Larian’s upcoming titles will finally lean into a bolder, cartoon-y vibe.  ( 3 min )

Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 is already surfacing in the wild (reportedly in the UAE and even popping up at some US retailers), but early adopters can’t actually play it yet. Every unboxed unit is locked behind a mandatory Day 1 system update—so you’ll need to hook up to the internet (or hope physical games include the patch) before any software — old or new — will boot. With launch day set for June 5, Twitch unboxings and store sightings are just the appetizer. When the console finally goes live it’ll debut alongside first-party hits like Mario Kart World, Switch 2 Welcome Tour and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, plus a hefty third-party lineup from Cyberpunk 2077 to Street Fighter 6.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: Bethesda proudly touted 3 million players for DOOM: The Dark Ages, but analytics firm Alinea pegs actual copy sales at just 800 K (200 K on PS5, 200 K on Xbox, 400 K on Steam) with the rest hoofing it through Xbox Game Pass at effectively $12 a pop. Ampere’s data differs—500 K on PS5 and over 2 million on Xbox (mix of purchases and Game Pass)—but everyone agrees sales are underwhelming for an AAA DOOM release. Beyond the eyebrow-raising player-count flex, slow Steam uptake and lukewarm fan sentiment (especially vs. DOOM 2016/Eternal) have reignited the great $70 game-price debate. High entry costs might mean it takes ages to break even, and many are wondering if the whole “industry-standard” price tag needs a serious rethink.  ( 3 min )

I recently installed Ubuntu MATE on my 11 year old Macbook Air as a way of keeping it running, given that Apple are no longer supporting the device. My idea was to replace it with Linux, while preserving the look & feel of the Mac as much as possible. Below are my notes of what I needed to do. The exact model is MacBookAir6,2 (MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014)), but I think the process should be pretty similar for other MacBooks made around the same time.

Nowadays most developers uses express by default to build a new Node.JS app. It's is popular, easy to use and even Nest.JS uses it behind the scenes. But if you take a look at the Fastify docs, you’ll see that it works quite differently from Express: Fastify uses fast-json-stringify by Matteo Collina with built-in functions based on schemas for serialize objects too fast Fastify uses a radix tree for routing - a compact and optimized tree built during server setup. It’s minimalist, with a strong focus on core performance Native validation using JSON Schema via Ajv Express working as well but for optimization... Express uses JSON.stringify for serialize objects Linear routing based on route definition Minimalist but depends on directly middlewares No native validation Below, you can see two files with simple implementations using Express and Fastify.I also ran a quick benchmark with Autocannon, and here are the results: Express might feel comfortable, but give Fastify a try at least once.

In Web3, virality isn’t optional — it’s embedded in the architecture. Unlike Web2, where paid ads and influencer campaigns can do the heavy lifting, Web3 projects rely on ecosystems, token incentives, and community-driven growth. And at the center of it all? The humble referral system. But here’s the kicker: most referral programs in crypto… suck. Either they offer weak incentives, are easy to game, or are hidden behind clunky dashboards no one uses. So how do we build referral systems that actually scale in Web3? 🚀 From PayPal to Polygon: Evolution of Referral Systems Web3 tried to replicate that — but ran into friction: On-chain UX is harder Bots and sybil attacks game airdrops Real value takes time, not just clicks So now, we’re seeing a third wave of referral systems: KYC-based rewards, not just address-based Milestone-based tiers (trade volume, time active) Gamified dashboards showing progress and earnings 📊 What Makes a Web3 Referral System Effective?

As businesses increasingly move toward cloud-native infrastructure, voice communication systems have evolved from traditional hardware PBX systems to flexible, scalable, and programmable VoIP PBX solutions. For developers, this shift unlocks a range of possibilities to integrate real-time communications directly into their apps, services, and workflows. In this article, we’ll break down what a VoIP PBX is, explore its programmability, and walk through how to integrate a cloud VoIP system using APIs. What Is a VoIP PBX? Remote access from any device Lower maintenance overhead API-level integration with CRMs, helpdesk systems, and internal tools Scalability with user demand Popular providers like Ringover, Twilio, and 3CX offer programmable VoIP PBX platforms that developers can tap into. Why Developers Should Care This opens up a range of use cases: Route calls based on CRM data Log call metadata in real time Analyze call quality with monitoring APIs Trigger automations (e.g., Slack alerts) based on call events Real-World Example: Call Logging with Webhooks js // index.js const app = express(); const db = new Client({ app.post("/call-webhook", async (req, res) => { try { app.listen(3000, () => console.log("Webhook server listening on port 3000")); Once this endpoint is exposed (e.g., using ngrok or deployed to a server), you can register it with your VoIP provider’s webhook settings. Leveraging AI and Analytics Example use cases include: Triggering ticket creation from key phrases Sentiment analysis on support calls Keyword-based call tagging Final Thoughts Have you worked with programmable voice systems or built something cool with a VoIP PBX? Let’s connect in the comments 👇 Let me know if you'd like it tailored to a specific provider (like Ringover, Twilio, etc.) or focused more on front-end, back-end, or DevOps perspectives.  ( 4 min )

Understanding the Maven build lifecycle is crucial for every Java developer—but let’s be honest, the official documentation can feel a bit overwhelming. So, I created a clean and simple animated diagram that breaks it all down visually! 📊✨ Maven has 3 main lifecycles, but the one most developers use daily is the default lifecycle, which handles the project build and deployment process. Here are the key phases you should know: 🔹 validate – Check project structure and readiness 🔹 compile – Build the source code 🔹 test – Run unit tests 🔹 package – Bundle the code into a JAR/WAR 🔹 verify – Ensure the package is valid and passes integration rules 🔹 install – Save the artifact to your local repository 🔹 deploy – Push the package to a remote repo for sharing These phases are executed in order when you run commands like mvn install or mvn package. Whether you're working on Spring Boot microservices or large-scale enterprise applications, understanding what happens behind the scenes helps you: ✅ Speed up debugging build issues ✅ Automate CI/CD pipelines more effectively ✅ Pass technical interviews with confidence If you found this helpful, I have more visuals like this! 👉 Access my full gallery of animated software diagrams for FREE (limited time): https://buymeacoffee.com/mohamed547h I release a new animated visual every week, covering topics like: Software architecture Design patterns DevOps workflows Framework internals (Spring, Maven, etc.) What’s a topic you’d love to see visualized next?

I’m not going to lie to you, working with Webflow was something I wasn't expecting to do when I first started. When I joined Skyrocket Digital as a contractor back in the pandemic arc of the world, I thought most of my work was going to be writing code to develop front and back end; And for a while it was, but that was not the only project I was working on with them.

Streamlining LLM Integration: Building a JavaScript MCP Server for Hacker News Integrating LLMs into real products still feels messier than it should be. Instead of clean patterns or shared infrastructure, most devs end up hacking together one-off code to connect models with APIs, databases, or business logic - none of it reusable, scalable, or easy to maintain. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) aims to fix that. It's a minimal, open standard from Anthropic. It provides a unified way for exposing tools, data, and prompts to language models in a structured, predictable way. Instead of building a new integration layer for every app or agent, MCP gives you a common interface - and it already works with applications like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf.

By now, most developers are familiar with Generative AI, the kind that writes text, generates code, creates images, or summarizes data. It’s powerful, but it’s also... reactive. You give it a prompt, it gives you a result. End of story. But lately, there’s a new player making waves: Agentic AI. And it’s not just a buzzword. Here’s the key difference: Generative AI creates content or suggestions when asked. Agentic AI goes further — it takes initiative, makes decisions, and executes tasks autonomously. Let’s say your AI detects low inventory. A generative model might say: “You’re running low on product X.” It’s the difference between assistance and action. We explained this in a recent conversation: Agentic AI vs Generative AI Explained Simply If you’re building AI apps or exploring automation in your projects, this shift from suggestion to execution could be a game-changer. Curious to hear from you! Where do you see Agentic AI making the biggest impact? 🤔  ( 3 min )

If you're building a SaaS product, chances are you've signed up for Stripe, added a checkout form, and started charging customers.

NVIDIA has just announced native support for Python in its CUDA platform, marking a major shift in how developers can access GPU acceleration. For the first time, Python developers can write CUDA programs without needing to rely on C or C++ bindings. This native integration drastically lowers the barrier for using GPUs in scientific computing, AI, and data-heavy Python applications. The new cuda-python package gives direct access to CUDA’s driver and runtime APIs, letting users launch kernels, manage memory, and control streams entirely from Python. It also includes support for just-in-time (JIT) compilation, which means you can write dynamic GPU code directly in Python, compile it on the fly, and run it immediately. A key innovation is the new CuTile programming model, which brings a tile-based structure to CUDA operations. CuTile is designed to feel natural to Python users familiar with NumPy and CuPy, and it allows for efficient manipulation of large data arrays without needing to manage threads manually. This move brings CUDA closer to Python’s ecosystem and could reshape how GPU computing is taught, deployed, and scaled across AI and HPC workloads.

Originally published on patangrid.site I kept seeing mentions of Opera Neon 2025 pop up — waitlists, AI buzz, and people calling it an AI-powered browser. My first reaction? “Another browser? Why switch from Chrome?” But once I realized this was an experimental browser from Opera testing out agent-like AI features, I figured it was worth a look. I found the official info on Opera’s site. If you're trying to download Opera Neon, don’t get too excited — it's invite-only for now. Opera’s been building browsers since the ’90s, but this might be their most ambitious idea yet. The previews show a minimalist design and AI baked right in. It looks... different — in a good way. The Opera Neon UI looks like it was designed to end tab chaos. You get visual tabs that show a preview of each page, which makes jumping between websites feel more intuitive than just staring at a bunch of favicons. There’s also a floating sidebar that holds key tools like bookmarks, workspace controls, and the AI assistant — all tucked neatly to the side without taking up valuable screen real estate. And that’s just scratching the surface. Want to know how Opera Neon uses AI to organize your tabs, issue distraction warnings, and even make activity-based suggestions?

** ** Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping the global job market. While AI promises innovation and efficiency, it also presents significant challenges that require urgent attention. Up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs risk displacement due to automation, with unemployment potentially rising to 20%, a rate not seen since the Great Depression (Anthropic CEO Dario Amod). Currently, 14% of the global workforce—approximately 375 million workers—have been affected by AI through job losses or career changes, with around 5 million jobs lost worldwide. The most impacted sectors include customer service (1.2 million jobs lost), IT services (850,000), warehousing and logistics (1.1 million), administrative and clerical roles (750,000), banking (400,000), and retail (300,000). Women’s jobs are disproportionately vulnerable, with 41% of female roles at risk compared to 28% for men, reflecting the higher concentration of women in automatable sectors. Attempts by companies like Clara and IBM to fully replace human roles with AI have demonstrated the limitations of automation, highlighting the continued importance of human skills. Looking ahead, by 2026, AI is projected to displace 75 million jobs globally but create 133 million new jobs, emphasizing a shift toward roles requiring new and different skills. This transition risks exacerbating inequality, favoring those with greater education and resources, and posing a challenge for inclusive economic growth. The path forward requires coordinated action: Accelerated workforce retraining and upskilling programs Thoughtful regulation of AI adoption Strategic planning to ensure equitable opportunities in the evolving job market As AI continues to evolve, organizations and governments must collaborate to create a future of work that balances innovation with inclusivity and social responsibility. How is your organization preparing for the impact of AI on jobs?  ( 3 min )

Trata-se da famigerada prática de criar endpoints excessivamente verbosos. Quando estamos desenvolvendo uma API REST para nosso sistema, é comum tentarmos facilitar o acesso a dados muito específicos. No entanto, isso muitas vezes se transforma em uma bola de neve. Quem nunca se pegou pensando: “Só mais um endpoint e tudo estará resolvido”... e repetiu isso incontáveis vezes? Isso acontece porque ignoramos um fator muito importante no conceito de API: ela deve servir como um portal de acesso aos recursos gerais do sistema, e não como um grande servidor repleto de rotas altamente específicas para cada situação. Esse problema costuma surgir, principalmente, quando lidamos com recursos que estão relacionados entre si. Pense na seguinte situação: Você precisa listar usuários que possuem tarefas atribuídas. A abordagem comum e tentadora é criar um endpoint como: /getUsersWithTasks Mas esse tipo de design fere princípios fundamentais de uma API bem construída. Em vez disso, pense na sua API como uma interface para recursos, e usuários são um recurso. Logo, uma forma mais adequada e escalável seria algo como: /users?withTasks=true Esse formato segue o padrão REST, é mais flexível e permite expandir facilmente os filtros no futuro, como: /users?withTasks=true&active=true Evite criar endpoints com verbos como get, delete ou create. Além de quebrar os princípios REST, isso torna sua API redundante e desnecessariamente verbosa. Por exemplo: 🚫 /getUserById Além disso: Prefira filtros via query parameters em vez de encher a URL com parâmetros. Mantenha seus endpoints focados em recursos, não em ações. Seguindo essas dicas simples, sua API se tornará muito mais limpa, intuitiva, escalável e fácil de manter.  ( 3 min )

A successful website is more than fast. It must be consistently available. For e-commerce, SaaS, and customer service platforms, downtime means lost revenue, lost trust, and lost users. This guide breaks down what downtime is, why it matters, its most common causes, and how to minimize its impact. What is website downtime? Website downtime refers to the time when your website is unavailable to visitors. The website is either not accessible at all or unable to complete its primary task (product purchases, etc.). Maximizing website uptime is critical to a successful business, so it is essential to minimize downtime. Planned downtime is often necessary, and you can inform customers about upcoming downtime, such as planned site maintenance. Unplanned downtime, however, can result in disastr…  ( 9 min )

I realised that many companies offer no-code platforms to their users for automating workflows. I spent a week deep-diving into Gumloop and other no-code platforms. agents. They're built for workflows. There's a difference. Agents need customisation. They have to make decisions, route dynamically, and handle complex tool orchestration. Most platforms treat these as afterthoughts. I wanted to fix that. Although it's not production-ready and nowhere close to handling the requests of companies like Gumloop and similar ones, this is intended to showcase the robustness of Vibe coding and how easily you can build sophisticated apps in a matter of days. You can also carry forward the work to improve it. NextJS was the obvious choice for the vibe-coding stack. Could I have used FastAPI with a Re…  ( 7 min )

TL;DR: I’m using LocalStack to emulate AWS services locally, mainly because I don’t want to wake up to a surprise credit card bill 😅 — but also because it's fast, easy to integrate with Docker, and helps me stay productive without needing real cloud resources. If you’ve ever added a real AWS key to a pet project and forgot to delete a bucket, or left something running overnight... You know the fear. I didn’t want to risk seeing a three-digit charge on my card just for experimenting with S3 and DynamoDB. And honestly, not everyone even has a credit card to begin with ,especially students or people just getting started. That’s when I found LocalStack. LocalStack is a fully functional local AWS cloud emulator. It allows you to develop and test cloud applications entirely on your local machi…  ( 5 min )

Un DTO (Data Transfer Object) es un objeto que permite mover datos entre diferentes capas de una aplicación, por ejemplo, entre un cliente y un servidor. Dentro de Java existen diferentes formas de implementarlo, ya sea con alguna estructura propia del lenguaje o alguna librería externa, lo cual está condicionado por la versión de Java que se esté utilizando. Durante este post veremos tres formas de implementar un DTO: dos de ellas utilizando solo Java y la última con una librería externa. Crear un DTO conlleva tener los siguientes elementos: Propiedades. Constructor vacío y/o constructor con parámetros. Getters y setters. toString(). equals(). hashCode(). Para los siguientes ejemplos utilizaremos una clase User con los siguientes atributos: id (int). name (String). lastName (String). user…  ( 6 min )

🚀 How HashMap Works Internally in Java? 🧐 Key Concepts of HashMap: Stores data as key-value pairs 🗂️ (key -> value) Uses Hashing to find data quickly ⚡ Allows one null key and multiple null values 🤔 Does NOT maintain order (Unlike LinkedHashMap) 🔀 Handles collisions using Linked Lists or Trees 🌳 🔍 How HashMap Works Internally? Calculate the hash of the key using hashCode(). 🔢 Find the bucket (index) using (hashCode % table size). 🗄️ Store the key-value pair in the bucket. ✅ If two keys have the same hash (collision), store them in a linked list (before Java 8) or a balanced tree (after Java 8). 🌲 Example: import java.util.HashMap; public class HashMapExample { public static void main(String[] args) { HashMap map = new HashMap(); map.put(1, "Apple"); map.put(2, "Banana"); map.put(3, "Cherry"); map.put(1, "Avocado"); // Replaces "Apple" because keys are unique! System.out.println(map); // Output: {1=Avocado, 2=Banana, 3=Cherry} } } ✅ Only one value per key..!!! If a key already exists, the old value is replaced. 🔥 Visualization of HashMap Storage: If you insert another "1 -> Avocado", it replaces "1 -> Apple" because keys must be unique. 🚀 How Does HashMap Handle Collisions? Before Java 8 → Uses a Linked List Java 8 and later → Uses a Balanced Tree (Red-Black Tree) when collisions become high (threshold = 8). 🔥 Summary HashMap stores key-value pairs and finds them fast using hashing. Uses hashCode() to compute an index (bucket). Handles collisions using Linked List (before Java 8) or Tree (after Java 8). Keys must be unique; if a key exists, its value is replaced.  ( 4 min )
